As Wiki says, Hyndland is a 'prime residential area in the fashionable West End' of the city. This is where footballers who cannot quite afford the big country hoose live, as do head teachers on their second marriages, Glasgow Uni lecturers and the occasional drug lord. All very douce on the surface, with a tiny hint of Taggart underneath. see

| Clarence Lane: as with many of the wealthier parts of the city, many Hyndland lanes have a fur-coat-and-nae-knickers look about them. If this lane was in Govanhill, passers-by would doubtless tut-tut about Roma and self-respect |
