Sighthill, Glasgow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sighthill is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated north of the River Clyde. In the past Sighthill has been included as part of Greater Springburn. It is now made up of many high rised flats split across two sub-areas, Pinkston and Fountainwell. The Fountainwell side is due to be redeveloped in the next few years with the high rise flats being demolished.
In the large graveyard at the north east side of Sighthill stands the memorial to John Baird and Andrew Hardie, the leaders of the 1820 Radical War otherwise known as the 1820 Insurrection.
