Dennistoun, Lanarkshire

Dennistoun is a residential area in the East End of Glasgow, Lanarkshire. Dennistoun was established by Alexander Dennistoun, a merchant, bank director and an MP, who began to develop the area from the 1850s. After the Second World War, the area's Victorian tenements were refurbished and extended rather than replaced with high-rise modernist blocks as in other working-class districts. It is within the council area of City of Glasgow.
