MenuBlythswood New Town, Lanarkshire
Blythswood New Town is an area in the heart of Glasgow, Lanarkshire. The 'Magnificent New Town of Blythswood' was built in the 1800s on the rising empty ground west of Buchanan Street. These open grounds were part of the vast Lands of Blythswood stretching to the River Kelvin acquired by the Douglas-Campbell family in the 17th century. The Blythswood district became a Conservation Area in 1970, because of its important architectural and historic buildings. It is within the council area of City of Glasgow.
