Ruchill

Ruchill () is a district in the city of Glasgow, Scotland. It lies within the Canal Ward of north Glasgow in the Ruchill Community Council area between the Maryhill and Possilpark and North Kelvinside areas of the city. It had previously been characterised by a high degree of deprivation and social problems. However, from the late 1990s much of the poorer-quality housing stock has been cleared to be replaced by newly built housing association and owner-occupied homes, improving much of the area's character. One part of the area that is largely unchanged is High Ruchill, which unlike the rest of the area was never made up of tenemental properties, but semi-detached housing instead. This part of Ruchill also never suffered the same concentration of social problems as the rest of the area. The Ruchill area is now connected to the communities in Maryhill and Gishochill via the Stockingfield bridge, over the forth and Clyde canal at the Stockingfield Junction. The bridge pays tribute to Ruchill's history through mosaics which decorate the bridge's panoramic viewing point.
