Mount Florida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally named Mount Floridon, Mount Florida is an area in the southeastern corner of the Scottish city of Glasgow. Scotland's National Stadium Hampden Park is located there. Mount Florida is served by the Cathcart Circle train line and is home to Langside College. Primarily a residential area, Mount Florida's housing stock largely comprises traditional tenemental buildings with the addition of two of Glasgow's high rise structures which dominated much of the 1960's housing 'regeneration' in the city. The main road through 'the Mount' is Cathcart Road, named after the major suburb located to the South which also gives it name to the two rivers 'Black Cart' and 'White Cart' which flow to the South of Mount Florida.
The local councillor for the area is John Lynch. Surgeries are held at 6pm on the 1st Monday of each month at Mount Florida Primary.
mount florida is also home to the old football ground of third lanark fc but now is cathkin park.
