| Dialling code: | 0141 (Glasgow) |
The ward sits in north‑west Glasgow in Scotland, taking in the large post‑war housing estate of Drumchapel alongside the more suburban and locally prosperous areas around Anniesland, with busy local hubs such as Anniesland Cross and good rail and road links via Anniesland station and Great Western Road.
Historically shaped by 1950s council housing and later waves of regeneration, the area combines pockets of economic and social challenge with active community groups, green spaces and neighbourhood shopping, so the ward feels like a mix of gritty post‑war planning and quieter suburban streets close to the western edge of the city.
