In the Calton area of the east end of Glasgow,a few examples of tenements remain. Craignestock Mansions are one of these. Newer houses exist in parts of this area which are housing developments of the GEAR or post-GEAR eras. Many people who were cleared from the area when the tenement slums were demolished have now found their way back to live in the new houses.
