Cowcaddens
Cowcaddens is an area of the city of Glasgow, Scotland.
Located virtually in the city centre it is bordered by the areas of Garnethill to the south and Townhead to the east.
Housing in the area is primarily ex-council housing (there are no council houses in Glasgow since their transfer to the Glasgow Housing Association ). A notable feature of Cowcaddens is that it is the location of Scottish Television's headquarters. Glasgow Caledonian University is also nearby.
The socialist politician Edward Hunter who was instrumental in helping build the left in New Zealand was a Labour councillor for Cowcaddens from 1937 till 1959.
Cowcaddens also has a station on the Glasgow Subway system.
