Talk:List of places in Glasgow

[edit] Towns not in Glasgow

Wouldn't this article be nicer if it simply included districts within Glasgow, and not random towns within a 20 mile radius of Glasgow's borders? Note the table on the page here for Halfway - a town which itself is probably not in Glasgow's borders any more for that matter. 13/08/2005

Actually I think you are confusing two places named Halfway, one is on Paisley Road West at Mosspark Boulevard, the other is out past Cambuslang. I created the original "Areas of Glasgow" list, but the fact that it now contains places as far away as Bristol means that it's just not worth the hassle any more.

OK I will have to have a wee look next time I'm at the cat and dog home. If people again start adding Airdrie, Cowdenbeath, Orkney etc. I suggest at the very least we start a separate section for these places (on the same page) instead of the asterisk thing which just looked horrible. 14/08/05

I decided to change it to how it should be, and how it originally was. This has been annoying me for a while, as it is very inaccurate. I hope this is not construed as vandalism, even if it is deleted, because it is not intended to be. The towns links to Glasgow were becoming increasingly obscure - eventually we would be adding Kilmarnock and Stirling. 13/08/05

Egypt is a lesser known area of Glasgow, it is in the east end of the city along London Road. Fraslet 16:04, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Difference between area lists in this article and Areas of Glasgow template

North of the River Clyde

Only this article has

Barrachnie, Blochairn, Braidfauld, Camlachie, Drumry, Linthouse, Outer Kelvinside, Provanhall, Scotstounhill, Springhill, Yoker, Yorkhill

Only Areas of Glasgow template has

Auchinloch | Blythswood Hill | Finnieston | High Ruchill | Kelvinbridge | Merchant City | Woodside, Glasgow|Woodside | Wyndford |

South of the River Clyde

Only this article has

Auldhouse, Cessnock

Only Areas of Glasgow template has

Corkerhill | Eastfield, Glasgow|Eastfield | Eastwood, East Renfrewshire | Fernhill | Linthouse | Penilee |

Not sure that Eastwood should be there as it is in East Renfrewshire.

I argue that the lists in this article should be removed and replaced with the Areas of Glasgow template to save having to update two lots.

Auchinloch shouldn't be there either. Fraslet 17:13, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - have removed Auchinloch and Eastwood from the template. Samantha of Cardyke 08:13, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
