About

Garscadden and Scotstounhill form a residential ward in Glasgow's northwest. The area is primarily composed of post-war housing, with a mix of tenements, terraced homes, and modern apartment developments. It is served by local shopping parades along Dalsetter Avenue and Crow Road, providing essential amenities. The ward contains several primary schools and community centres, with the large Garscadden Woods offering a green corridor for walking.

The landscape is defined by the undulating terrain and the presence of the Forth and Clyde Canal, which runs along its southern boundary. This provides a route for cycling and walking into adjacent areas. A notable local feature is the former site of the Scotstoun Hill Quarry, now largely filled and built upon, which historically shaped the area's topography. Housing estates like Knightswood Park are central to the ward's character.
