About Garrowhill
Where to stay in Garrowhill
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Beds are a Baillieston question rather than a Garrowhill one, since the residential streets here run to houses and the suburb's named addresses are churches. Houses, not hotels. Church Street holds Crosshill Parish Church and Churchyard.
A room means the Glasgow city centre, roughly seven miles off, where the hotel supply gathers and the run back out to Baillieston St Andrew's Church costs little of an evening.
About Garrowhill

Three churches carry the record here. St John's Church, Baillieston and Baillieston St Andrew's Church stand among the housing that fills the ground between Garrowhill and the older core of the suburb, and Crosshill Parish Church and Churchyard takes number 35 on Church Street with its burial ground alongside. No museum, no castle.

What is the history of Garrowhill?
Garrowhill enters the registers undated. The record gives it as a residential area grown up inside the wider Baillieston suburb, seven miles out from the Glasgow city centre, which makes its past the suburb's past rather than a separate one. Its dated fabric is ecclesiastical.
Crosshill Parish Church and Churchyard on Church Street, Baillieston St Andrew's Church and St John's Church, Baillieston are the buildings the registers name, and the streets drawn between them were laid for living in rather than for trade.
Where is Garrowhill?
