Toryglen is a small district in southern Glasgow, Scotland. It is approximately 2 miles south of the city centre to the west of Rutherglen, which is just over the city boundary in South Lanarkshire. It is bounded to the West by Mount Florida, the north by Oatlands and the south by Kingspark. The name 'Torryglen' first appeared on maps in the late 18th century and was a small farmhouse in the north of the present day area. Toryglen is a residential area built mainly south of Prospecthill Road between 1947 & 1959 by the Scottish Special Housing Association; however, the north of the district was constructed by the city authorities between 1963-68. Prospecthill Circus is a colourful collection of three 23 storey tower blocks and numerous deck access maisonettes. 'The Circus' is awaiting comprehensive redevelopment by the G.H.A.
