Shettleston
Shettleston (Scots: Shuttlestoun, Scottish Gaelic: Baile Nighean Sheadna) is an area in the east end of Glasgow in Scotland.Today Shettleston - the heart of a local authority ward of the same name - lies between the neighbouring areas of Parkhead to the west, and Baillieston to the east, and is about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) from the city centre.In the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Shettleston, like many other districts in the East End, benefited greatly from the Glasgow Eastern Area Renewal (GEAR) initiative, and much regeneration took place during this period.The area's housing stock was substantially upgraded with tenements being sandblasted and internally refurbished, and coal fires were replaced with gas central heating.The John Wheatley College originally existed in the area from 1989 to 2007 (in the former Eastbank Academy buildings), before it moved to its present site in Haghill.
