About Port Dundas
Where to stay in Port Dundas
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Glasgow's city centre lies a mile off, which makes Port Dundas a place people walk out from rather than sleep in, with Cowcaddens the natural halfway footing. Cedar Street and Lyon Street are residential. Keppochhill Road holds the Somerville Memorial Church.
Sighthill sits on the other side, and anyone booking a specific address in the north of Glasgow should check which of these quarters it actually falls in.
About Port Dundas
What are the main landmarks in Port Dundas?
Three church buildings carry the record. Woodside Congregational Church stands at Cedar Street, the Somerville Memorial Church at Keppochhill Road, and the Old Free Church at Lyon Street, each one naming the congregation that built it. Beyond them the area gives on to Cowcaddens, Sighthill, Hamiltonhill and Possilpark, so much of what a visitor walks to from Port Dundas actually stands in a neighbouring quarter.
What is the history of Port Dundas?
Its names record older divisions. Woodside Congregational Church at Cedar Street, the Old Free Church at Lyon Street and the Somerville Memorial Church at Keppochhill Road each carry a different strand of congregation-building into the streets north of Cowcaddens. Port Dundas keeps its own name inside Glasgow, a mile out from the city centre and pressed against Cowcaddens.
Sighthill, Hamiltonhill and Possilpark border it.
Where is Port Dundas?
Port Dundas lies north of Cowcaddens and west of Sighthill, with Hamiltonhill and Possilpark to the north-west and Glasgow's city centre a mile away.
