Red Road Flats, Balornock (from Petershill Road)
The original Red Road after which the tower blocks were named was a dirt track bounded by the former Low Balornock Farm and Barmulloch Farm. These 8 tower blocks were built 1962-1969 on this area. At 31 storeys they were then the tallest tower blocks in Europe. The current site is bounded by Petershill Drive and the modern Red Road. The flats were designed by architect Sam Brunton and built to replace slum tenements, but residents were complaining about the poor conditions by 1971. The most distant tower block (also the one in the photograph farthest to the right) is now due for demolition.
