Kelvinside
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kelvinside is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated north of the River Clyde and is bounded by Great Western Road to the South with Kelvindale and the River Kelvin itself to its North. It is known as one of the most affluent areas of Glasgow, with many large villas, similar to those found in Pollokshields in the South Side. It encompasses other smaller areas such as Cleveden and Kirklee.
As with Morningside, Edinburgh, residents are sometimes said to have a "pan loaf" accent, i.e. an affected one. This often leads to jokes about a "Kelvinsaide" accent. Both of these areas were featured in an advert for ScotRail[1]
Kelvinside railway station was on the Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway, but is now closed.
