Sighthill neighbourhood Glasgow

Hi everyone, and welcome back! Today's post is a little different from the usual travel adventures. Instead of a destination far away, we're taking a stroll through a neighborhood that's become a favorite of mine and my partner. It's a place we often go for walks, and once, we even spent an afternoon simply relaxing in the car while he read, enjoying a bowl of rice and stew. It was such a peaceful day, and of course, we couldn't resist snapping a few photos, which I'll be sharing with you.

Sighthill is a neighborhood located in the Scottish city of Glasgow. Positioned north of the River Clyde, it forms part of the larger Springburn area in the northern part of the city.

This neighborhood is still under development, so there’s a lot of open space. It's rarely crowded, making it the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and watch the birds or ducks at the nearby ponds. It’s just a stone’s throw away from Pinkston Water Park, and the two spots complement each other beautifully.

What I Love About Sighthill

Sighthill is peaceful and calm, with plenty of outdoor space that feels perfect for both kids and adults. I’m not sure what the future holds for the remaining open areas – whether they’ll be developed into more housing – but I personally hope they keep some of the natural beauty that makes this place feel so special.

The ponds here add a perfect touch of nature to the neighborhood, creating a balanced blend of modern living and outdoor tranquility. And because they’re set a little away from the housing areas, they offer a quiet retreat without feeling too far from home.

There’s a school and a church nearby, and I’ve noticed they’re selling houses in the area. One thing I’ve observed is that the front yards are quite small, almost right on the street, but even so, the overall feel of the neighborhood remains green, quiet, and inviting.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! What do you think of this neighborhood? Could you imagine yourself living in a place like this?
