Square Mile of Murder

The Square Mile of Murder relates to an area of west-central Glasgow, Scotland.

The term was first coined by the Scottish journalist and author Jack House, whose 1961 book of the same name was based on the fact that four of Scotland's most infamous murders were committed within an area of 1 square mile (2.6 km2).

In 2021, Esther Brown was murdered at her home on West Princes Street, one of the roads in the mile.

[1] House's book was adapted as a six-part television series by the BBC in 1980.

The cast included George Baker (as Madeleine Smith's father), Anthony Bate (as Pritchard), Simon Cadell, Neil Connery, Gregor Fisher, Rikki Fulton, John Grieve, James Hazeldine, and Tony Roper.
