Carmyle history

The name Carmyle is derived from Gaelic and translates as “the bare cairn” Originally, most of the land north of Carmyle and Tollcross was forest and brushwood, giving excellent cover for wild animals, but the strips of land alongside the river banks were very rich for cultivating. The name Hutchesoune was applied to the district called Nether Carmyle.
