A Glasgow neighbourhood has been named as one of the ‘coolest in the world’.

The Glasgow Times previously reported that Shawlands in the city’s Southside had been chosen as one of the ‘best places to live in Scotland’ by the Sunday Times in April of this year.

Shawlands has reached an impressive number 11, joining the likes of Colonia Americana in Guadalajara (1), Ridgewood in New York (4) and Vesterbro in Copenhagen (24).

Time Out contributor Malcolm Jack said: “With its great parks, art, coffee and dining, Shawlands keeps Glasgow braw.

“The neighbouring areas of Langside, Strathbungo and Govanhill have all played their part in the Southside’s rise to eclipse the West End as the city’s best area to socialise and live in recent years – but Shawlands is the bustling nexus point of Glasgow below the Clyde.

“The internationally renowned Burrell Collection has recently had a multimillion-pound refurb, and it’s surrounded by buzzy independent local businesses – such as French-Japanese patisserie and design shop Godshot Stuido – on the main artery of Pollokshaws Road, before it bisects with Kilmarnock Road in front of a beautiful Flatiron Building-esque sandstone tenement block.

“But explore the side streets too for delightful plant-based lattes and flat whites at Frankie, or superior sourdough from Deanston Bakery.”
