- Hyndland is an affluent residential area in the West End of the city of Glasgow, Scotland.
Bordering Broomhill, Dowanhill, Kelvinside and Partickhill, it is a wealthy neighbourhood populated mainly by businessmen, lawyers, GPs, professionals (many employed at the nearby University of Glasgow) and a number of noted authors, poets, actors, comedians and footballers. Average property prices in the area are considerably higher than the Glasgow or Scottish averages.
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.
Prior to development, Hyndland was an area of farmland called 'Hind Land' and belonged to the Bishops of Glasgow. The first tenements were built in 1885.
On 13 March 1941, a parachute mine was dropped on Hyndland by the Luftwaffe, destroying three tenement buildings on Dudley Drive. Also, during the war a number of refugee children from Germany and Poland were educated at Hyndland School, many of whom achieved a higher in English.

My part if town. You should go to Clarence Drive when it rains heavily and record all the cars bobbing and people think their cars are worthy of the underwater world when that road turns into a river lol Sleepy part of the city and lived really close to there. I wonder if the Paddington Bear toy is still in the window about the shop directly opposite the Clarence Drive junction? Lovely capture and nice wee trip down memory lane. Thanks for sharing 👍😃👍🎥🥾🥾🥃
