There are allotments within Pollok Park. You can see them from the train as it gets to Pollokshaws Station. The allotments are next to the ne flats that are being built next to the railway line.

There were allotments in Priesthill. Sadly they were removed years ago. They were near where Priesthill/Darnley station is now.

We are from all over Glasgow. There are a couple of us from the Southside. The Council have issued a consultation on Allotments. Do you have a copy of it. If not I can arrange a copy for you.

As for the history of Allotments. I will ask to see if anyone knows anything about where records may have been kept.

From an old pre-M8 map I can see there were quite a few around the Kinning Park area, too. So sad they're all gone now

Thanks for all the input guys, I need to get my ass in action and take this forward. I have the consultation document and have read through some parts but not others.

I will have a think over the next couple of days and start to get things moving.

smckenzie a whole new world could be opening up for you...

The Annual Scottish Allotments Conference - 21 June, Dunblane

Note: Attendance at the Conference is free but a donation of £5 for coffee and lunch would be appreciated. Which means that the tea ladies will probably be kerrying to make sure you're relieved of your fiver, but that seems a bargain.

Mind you when you look at the programme, it's heavy stuff, really meant for the professionals. I'll bet that the fun bit is the 'members-only' visit to a local hosterly afterwards.

I love the acronym - SAGS

Is it a BYOC (Bring Your Own Cabbage) affair?

Thanks for the info on the SAGS conference, I have been working non stop just now and have had no time to get the camera out and post some pics.

Will need to go along and suss out the politics of it all as i think there will be many plot holders (especially the old die hards) there.

I liked the comment about bring your own cabbage - believe me in allotment land that is a very true statement!.

At the moment, a section of land at the bottom of my street has been allocated to build allotments and construction started a few months ago with brand new brick sheds.

Here is the site's location:->Click Me<

I'll take a couple of photo's today and post them up.

There is also another on on Craigpark Drive in Dennistoun which is gated and I've rarely seen anyone in them.

Hope this helps,
