It connects to the south via the St Andrew's Suspension Bridge. History In 1450, King James II granted the parkland to Bishop William Turnbull and the people of Glasgow. The Green then looked quite different from the Green today. It was an uneven, swampy area made up of several distinct "greens" (separated by the Camlachie and Molendinar Burns): the High Green; the Low Green; the Calton Green; and the Gallowgate Green. In the centuries that followed, the parkland was used for grazing, washing and bleaching linen, drying fishing nets, and recreational activities like swimming.

From 25 December 1745 to 3 January 1746, Bonnie Prince Charlie's army camped in ''Flesher's Haugh'' (privately owned at the time, ...
