Milton is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow,[1] situated north of the River Clyde.
[3] The district is bordered to the south and east by Ashgill Road, dividing it from the older Parkhouse neighbourhood.
The new streets were named after the Scottish islands: Berneray, Birsay, Castlebay, Cathay, Egilsay, Longay, Mingulay, Ornsay, Raasay, Ronaldsay, Scalpay, Scaraway, Shillay, Skerray, Stornoway, Torogay, Vallay and Westray.
[4][failed verification] In the late 1980s, many of the flats in the area were replaced with social housing units more suitable for urban living.
[5] At local Glasgow City Council level, Milton has formed a core part of the Canal ward since 2007.
Community activists successfully campaigned to prevent the conversion of the site of the demolished Saint Augustine’s Secondary School into housing.
