Hyndland 4.1

Hyndland is a residential area in the West End of the city of Glasgow, Scotland.Bordering the Broomhill, Dowanhill, Kelvinside,and the Partickhill areas, it is a middle-class area populated mainly by professionals (many employed at the nearby University of Glasgow) and young bourgeois bohemians including a number of noted authors, poets, actors and footballers. Average property prices in the area are higher than the Glasgow or Scottish averages.The area is defined by quiet streets and red sandstone tenements, many of which are fronted by communal city gardens, often embellished with ornate doorway carvings and stained glass windows, built in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. There are also a number of townhouses built during these periods which contribute significantly to the area's character. While many of these townhouses have been split into multiple apartments to cater to modern urban living, some remain individual properties. This division of property types accounts for the area's unusual demographic. The district is also characterised by its large population of domestic cats.There are a number of retail outlets in the area including high-quality delicatessens, cafés, hair and beauty salons, photographers, and local service shops. The Glasgow and Hillhead-Jordanhill rugby teams play in the area at Hughenden Stadium. There is also a lawn bowling club - Hyndland Bowling club which was founded in 1904. There is a local school, Hyndland Secondary School.
