Hamiltonhill is a residential neighbourhood in the Scottish city ofGlasgow, situated betweenPossilpark to the north and east andPort Dundas to the south. To the west of Hamiltonhill is a nature reserve bordering theForth and Clyde Canal's Glasgow Branch section (withFirhill Stadium on the opposite bank). The neighbourhood falls under theCanal ward ofGlasgow City Council.
The area consisted primarily ofRehousing (low build quality) greyreconstituted stone tenements from the 1930s.[1][2] Many of these blocks were refurbished in the 1990s, but by the 2010s almost all had been demolished along with the local schools (St Cuthbert's Primary, which was relocated in 2012 to a new facility inRuchill Park, closer to parts of the district where new homes had already been built)[3][4] andWester Common Primary.[5] Another new school complex for children residing locally, 'Keppoch Campus', was also constructed on the eastern side of Possilpark in the 2000s.[6] Somecottage flats dating from the same period as the tenements were retained, with the result that several clusters of surviving homes in Hamiltonhill were surrounded by expanses of empty waste ground in every direction.[7]
In 2018, the localQueens Cross Housing Association published a renewal masterplan for the area involving over 600 new homes.[8][9]
