About

The North East ward encompasses the residential suburbs of Fintry, Douglas, and Mid Craigie. These areas are characterised by post-war housing schemes, with a mix of terraced homes and apartment blocks. The topography includes gentle slopes leading towards the Dighty Burn, a waterway that runs through the southern part of the ward. The land use is primarily domestic, with local shopping parades serving the community's daily needs.

The ward contains the expansive Caird Park, which provides significant green space with sports facilities and wooded areas. A notable local landmark is the historic Mains Castle, a 16th-century tower house situated within the park's grounds. Industrial activity is concentrated in the small business units near the Kingsway, the major arterial road that forms part of the ward's northern boundary. Housing density varies, with more compact layouts in central areas.
