William Wallace

Scottish leader William Wallace was turned over to English soldiers in 1305. At the site of Wallace’s capture there stands a monument. There have also been proposals put forward for a visitor’s centre in the area.

Hospital

Robroyston Hospital opened in 1918 as a municipal smallpox and tuberculosis hospital. It was temporarily used as a military hospital in 1918–19. By 1925, 450 beds were devoted to tuberculosis patients, almost half of Glasgow’s total complement. In 1945 a maternity unit was added.

Housing developments

A small housing community of mainly miners’ rows formed the village of Robroyston c. 1929. The larger Barmulloch housing estate was constructed during the 1950s. Throughout the 1990s, large-scale housing developments were undertaken to the north east of the original village. This drastically increased the population of the suburb to some 8,300 people.
