Shawlands

Shawlands is an area suburb of Glasgow, in Scotland. Like many similar areas in the city, it grew up as a direct response to improved tram links to the city centre, and the need for working/middle class housing prompted by Glasgow's growth in population and economy.

Shawlands an 18th Century painting shows Shawlands as completely undeveloped, save for a solitary cottage at the Cross (the meeting place of Pollokshaws Road and Kilmarnock Road, and not as is sometimes assumed, the junction of Langside Avenue/Minard Road and Pollokshaws Road). This would change dramatically within the next century.

Shawlands today, housing in the Shawlands area consists mainly of tenement flats and two-storey terraced cottages along with a small number of detached and semi-detached houses. The area has seen a gradual gentrification over the past 20 years, leading some to dub it "the new West End". Property prices are substantially above the Glasgow and Scottish averages.
