About Pollokshields
- Pollokshields is home to one of the most architecturally distinguished residential areas in Scotland. The neighbourhood was developed in the second half of the nineteenth century as a planned suburb for Glasgow's prosperous merchant and professional classes, and the quality of its housing stock — from grand detached villas in the west to elegant red sandstone tenements in the east — reflects the ambition and wealth of its original developers. The area's South Asian community, which has been established in Pollokshields since the 1960s and 1970s, has made a profound contribution to the cultural and commercial life of the neighbourhood, and the area's restaurants — particularly those on Nithsdale Road and the surrounding streets — are among the finest in Glasgow.
