Scotstounhill
Scotstounhill (/ˈskɒtstənˌhɪl/) is a small area situated in western Glasgow, between south Knightswood and Scotstoun. Housing is mainly in a terraced or villa style,[1] although several high rise flats (also known as tower blocks) can be found in the area[2][3] (originally six at Kingsway Court, two since demolished in the 2010s and the others renovated).[4][5] These were built near to the site of the Scotstoun House mansion.[6] [7][8]
