[1] The community is represented by the Wyndford Residents Union, who oppose the proposed demolition of four high-rise tower blocks in the area[2] and are, as of March 2024, involved in a legal dispute with Glasgow City Council over the demolition.

These barracks were built in 1872 when the Glasgow barracks were moved from the city's east end to this site, despite the fact that Maryhill was technically not part of the city at the time, as it was then a politically independent burgh.

The nearby Walcheren Barracks maintains a vestigial link to the Army in the area.

Footballers Charlie Nicholas and Jim Duffy are both originally from the Wyndford area.
