Where to stay in Scotstounhill
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Scotstounhill is a place to live in, not to check into. Beds here are the terraced houses and villa-style homes that make up almost the whole area, so the workable plan is a room in Glasgow itself and a run out to Queen Victoria Drive when the errand is in this corner. Scotstoun sits alongside.
Anniesland Road and Lincoln Avenue are residential addresses rather than accommodation strips.

About Scotstounhill
What are the main landmarks in Scotstounhill?
Four listed addresses carry the name. Scotstoun West Parish Church and its hall stand at 8 and 16 Queen Victoria Drive, while the high-rise flats that break the low roofline went up near the site of the Scotstoun House mansion. Tower Dene sits on Anniesland Road.
Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church and Presbytery closes the short list from Lincoln Avenue.
What is the history of Scotstounhill?
Scotstounhill was built, not chartered. Scotstoun House stood here as a mansion, and the high-rise flats that break the low roofline were raised near the ground it occupied, in among the terraced rows and villa-style houses. Housing, not industry, is what the record keeps for Scotstounhill, a small area of western Glasgow between Scotstoun and south Knightswood rather than a place with a founding date of its own.
The tall flats are the marker.
Where is Scotstounhill?
