Where to stay in Easterhouse
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
The city centre is six miles off. Easterhouse is housing on high ground, with St Benedict's Church and Presbytery on Westerhouse Road and a parish church on Boyndie Street standing among estates laid out when Glasgow expanded onto ground taken from Lanarkshire. No hotel desk waits here.
Staying in central Glasgow and riding out keeps the Campsie Fells horizon and Bargeddie Parish Church within reach without hunting for a bed on the Lanarkshire edge.

About Easterhouse
What are the main landmarks in Easterhouse?
St Benedict's Church and Presbytery stands on Westerhouse Road, its presbytery listed along with it, and St George's and St Peter's Parish Church holds Boyndie Street a little way off. Bargeddie Parish Church sits further out. Manse Road carries it, past the point where Glasgow's ground gives back to Lanarkshire, and it is the one entry on the list standing outside the estate streets.
Beyond that the register stops.
What is the history of Easterhouse?
Glasgow reached out for the land. Easterhouse entered the city through an expansion carried out before the Second World War, when ground was gained from the county of Lanarkshire and laid out on the high shelf above the Clyde. The estates followed the boundary.
A district six miles from the city centre grew up on what had been county ground, which is why the Bargeddie name sits on its register beside streets carrying Glasgow addresses.
Where is Easterhouse?
Easterhouse holds high ground north of the River Clyde and south of the River Kelvin, with the Campsie Fells closing the skyline.
