Local Information
Set within one of Glasgow’s most exclusive residential quarters, Gainsborough Court is Mactaggart & Mickel’s latest development in the West End. Gainsborough Court marks a homecoming of sorts for the company as many of the tenement buildings and other homes in the existing neighbourhood were built over the years by the company beginning as far back as the 1940s.
Gainsborough Court is right in the heart of Glasgow’s illustrious West End, in the much sought after residential area of Kelvindale. Byres Road nearby, is one of the West End’s most vibrant places, synonymous with fine dining, entertainment and shopping with a great variety of restaurants, bars and eclectic little shops on offer.
There are a number of larger supermarkets and other grocery stores as well, so you can pretty much find whatever you are looking for, from children’s toys, DVDs and books to a new set of keys or an outfit for the weekend. There is a cinema on Ashton Lane, which shows the latest releases and well-known old favourites and even has special showings for parents and children.
