Auchenshuggle ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|ɒ|x|ən|ˈ|ʃ|ʊ|ɡ|əl}} {{respell|okh-ən|SHOOG|əl}}; {{lang-gd|Achadh an t-Seagail|lit=the rye field}}) is an area of the city of Glasgow in Scotland.

It is the easternmost part of the Braidfauld (45th) Ward of the City of Glasgow. The ward runs westwards about a mile and a half to Springfield Road, just short of Celtic Park, home of Celtic Football Club.

The role of public transport in spreading the name

The quaint name[1] was made famous throughout the city by Glasgow Corporation Tramways.[2] Auchenshuggle was the eastern terminus of tram service number 9 and was duly carried on the destination boards of tramcars. Service No 9 ran between Auchenshuggle and Dalmuir West (a district of Clydebank).[3][4] The service was extended from its previous terminus at Springfield Road in 1922.

The area is at the east end of Glasgow on London Road, and it was often said{{By whom|date=June 2015}} that Glasgow Corporation Transport Department invented the name so that curious tourists and city dwellers would travel there thus increasing revenue.{{Citation needed|date=June 2015}} In fact, the terminus (at Braidfauld Street) was directly opposite a group of 19th century cottages, now replaced by 1960s council houses, named "Auchenshuggle Cottages".

Service No 9 was the final route on which trams were run in the city. The last regular tram ran on 1 September 1962. On 2, 3 and 4 September, a special tram service was operated between Auchenshuggle and Anderston Cross on which souvenir tickets were sold. This proved attractive to those who wished to take a final sentimental journey.

The route was taken by bus service No 64.[3][5] There was also service No. 22 which operated between Auchenshuggle and Castlemilk{{Citation needed|date=June 2015}}, via Shettleston Road, Duke Street and Rutherglen, however this service has been withdrawn.

No service currently [June 2015] uses Auchenshuggle terminus or even the destination on its signage, although it does still stop there{{Citation needed|date=June 2015}}. Also the link between Clydebank and Auchenshuggle on service 64, no longer exists, as service 64 terminates in Glasgow City Centre, and no longer serves Clydebank. Service 308 also uses Auchenshuggle as a stop.

Auchenshuggle Wood and Community Nature Park

The Auchenshuggle Wood lies to the south of London Road, and is now site of a community nature park, established in 1982.[6][7][8] After the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014, the park was designated a Commonwealth Woodland as part of the Games legacy project.[9][10]

Recent developments

As part of the northern extension of the M74 Motorway, a new Auchenshuggle Bridge over the River Clyde was completed and opened in 2011. Adjacent to the junction serving the area (2A) is a small retail park featuring fast food restaurants, car showroom, furniture shop, clothing retailer and a budget hotel with attached public house (Orion Way).[11]
