Baillieston, Calder Place
Post war housing, originally named 'The Bauks' - after the historic name of the area the name was changed to the present in 1951 by Lanarkshire county council after complaints by some residents who objected to the name. The present appellation is a bland reference to a nearby river.

Baillieston, Calder Place from Muirside Street.
Originally named the 'Bauks'- there are people with that address on their birth certificates - the name was changed in 1951 after complaints by residents - and so they got the really upmarket fancy name of Calder Place.
Shame on them and shame on Lanarkshire county council for bowing to eedjits and sinking history.

Baillieston, Muirhead Road Viaduct
Built in 1864 and still taking traffic - albeit restricted to one lane in recent years. Keen observers will note the right hand (southern) pier is thicker than the left (northern). The structure was built lop sided with the low end at the Hangman's Brae side where the road was cut out of the hill to reduce the severity of the gradient to assist horse drawn traffic.

Baillieston 1st railway station (site), Glasgow
Around 500m ahead of the train is the site of the first Baillieston station. Opened in 1866 by the Rutherglen and Coatbridge Railway, later part of the Caledonian Railway empire, this station closed in 1964. View north east towards Bargeddie and Whifflet. The site is now lost under a new housing estate and..... quite a lot of greenery.
When the line was reopened to passengers in 1993 as part of the Glasgow to Whifflet line, the replacement Baillieston station was located just behind the camera position.
