MARYHILL BARRACKS
This plaque marks the site of Maryhill Barracks built in 1877 from local stone.
During its existence many Scottish Regiments and other military units
were stationed at Maryhill.
On 16th March 1921 the depot of the Highland Light Infantry, later to become
The City Of Glasgow Regiment, moved to Maryhill Barracks from Hamilton.
The last soldiers to be trained here left on 26 September 1958.
On 21 January 1959 the Highland Light Infantry amalgamated with The
Royal Scots Fusiliers to continue service as The Royal Highland Fusiliers
(Princess Margaret's Own Glasgow And Ayrshire Regiment).
Maryhill Barracks was demolished in 1961.

Hidden Depths
Located directly behind a bingo hall in Maryhill is this rather imposing sandstone structure. Its reason for being there isn't apparent unless you check out the OS Map. This was part of the Glasgow Central Railway, that ran from Stobcross Junction to Maryhill Central via the Botanic Gardens.
Above is the Forth & Clyde canal, and the keystone of the railway tunnel can be seen behind the foliage. The tunnel's south portal has simply been stopped up with earth when the car park and bingo hall were built. The line was closed to passengers in 1959, and finally closed to freight in 1964. The tunnel mouth was eventually closed off in 1988.
