Gartloch is a small settlement on the north‑eastern fringe of Glasgow City, Scotland, occupying semi‑rural ground of moorland and small lochs close to the city boundary and major motorway links, which makes it convenient for commuting into the city and nearby towns.

Historically the area is best known for the late‑Victorian Gartloch Hospital, whose distinctive stone buildings dominated the site until closure and later conversion into a residential village; several original structures survive amid modern housing. Today Gartloch feels quietly residential with pockets of greenbelt and wildlife around the lochs, and a community shaped by its mix of historic fabric and recent development.
