It is approximately 2 miles south of the city centre to the west of Rutherglen. It is bounded to the west by Mount Florida, the north-west by Polmadie, to the north-east by the West Coast Main Line railway and the M74 motorway, and the south by King's Park. History and locationThe name 'Torryglen' first appeared on maps in the late 18th century and was a small farmhouse in the north of the present day territory. The area is broadly defined as between the major railway lines to the north, Curtis Avenue to the south and Aikenhead Road to the west. The eastern boundary where Glasgow meets South Lanarkshire (the Rutherglen districts of Newfield and Burnhill) is difficult to observe from ground level as it involves houses backing onto one another right up to the border in most places. However, as this is a major administrative divide it is clearly marked on maps. Toryglen is residential in character, built mainly south of Prospecthill Road between 1947 and 1959 by the Scottish Special Housing Association on land which was previously a farm and a golf course.[2] As well as tenements, the area contains some of the city's early experiments in multi-storey housing, built around 1955 at Prospecthill Crescent. A derelict multi-storey block awaiting demolition in Prospecthill Circus was used in 2006 by SONY to create an advertisement for their BRAVIA range of televisions. The commercial involved the blasting of paint onto disused buildings.[5] The main tower block in the advert was demolished in a controlled explosion on 21 January 2007;[6] the remaining two towers survived for almost a decade before being demolished in stages during late 2016, using a Long reach excavator.[7] 'The Circus' underwent comprehensive redevelopment by the Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) in the early 21st century, culminating in a major development by Cruden Homes, with construction taking place between around 2015 and 2018,[8] leaving the area virtually unrecognisable from how it looked a few years prior. The 851 tenement flats and 232 tower block apartments in the south of the district (managed by Thistle Housing Association) were also refurbished externally, including brighter rendering energy efficiency, during the 2010s.[9][10] Between 1967 and 1994, Toryglen was home to the buildings of Queen's Park Secondary School (originally based at Grange Road, Battlefield).[11][12] After several years as a derelict plot, the 'Crown Gardens' housing development was built on the site.[13] The school's football pitches (on the south side of Prospecthill Road) were built into Toryglen Regional Football Centre,[14] as part of Glasgow City Council's plans to boost the city's sporting facilities in the run up to hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games. On the opposite site of the road there is a large supermarket. Malls MireThe Malls Mire burn, which has been almost entirely culverted, runs north-west under Hampden Park, the Football Centre and the supermarket, to the west of the Prospecthill Circus area under the railway line and motorway, joins the West/Cityford Burn from Rutherglen which becomes the Polmadie Burn (also known as Jenny's Burn)[15][16] – once heavily polluted by waste from White's Chemicals at nearby Shawfield – and flows into the River Clyde at Richmond Park. While it was visible above ground, the Malls Mire formed part of the boundary between the ancient counties of Renfrewshire and Lanarkshire.[17] The burn gives its name to an adjacent area of ground between Toryglen and Burnhill (meeting football pitches including the home ground of Rutherglen Glencairn F.C.), which lay overgrown for some years but was cleaned and landscaped in the early 21st century to be maintained as a 'community woodland',[18][19] and was granted Local nature reserve status in 2015.[20] Famous residentsJim Kerr and Charlie Burchill of Simple Minds grew up in this area.[6] The Scottish justice secretary Michael Matheson also grew up in Toryglen,[21] as did Janis Hughes, the former MSP for the Glasgow Rutherglen constituency.[6]See also
