Where to stay in Barlanark
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Shettleston Road runs past it. The register gives Barlanark a single address, a church on Shettleston Road, and nothing else by way of a landmark to organise a stay around. Budhill, Springboig and Easthall border the same ground. Glasgow carries the beds, and Barlanark carries the streets between Baillieston, Swinton and Wellhouse.

About Barlanark
What are the main landmarks in Barlanark?
One entry, and it is a church. The register credits Barlanark with one church on Shettleston Road, and that single line is the whole of what Glasgow's records attach to the district. Shettleston lies west, Budhill and Springboig with it.
Easterhouse, Easthall and Wellhouse stand to the north, Baillieston to the south-east, and Springhill and Swinton to the east.
What is the history of Barlanark?
When Barlanark began is not written anywhere. Everything the record holds for the district is a position, given entirely by the places around it: Budhill, Shettleston and Springboig on one hand, Baillieston, Springhill and Swinton on the other. Easthall, Easterhouse and Wellhouse complete that frame.
A church on Shettleston Road is the only building the register names, so the district's past is written into Glasgow's rather than its own.
Where is Barlanark?
Barlanark occupies ground east of Budhill, Shettleston and Springboig, west of Springhill and Swinton, and south of Easthall, Easterhouse and Wellhouse.
