In 1568 the area was the site of the Battle of Langside, the last battle fought by the forces of Mary, Queen of Scots, prior to her exile and death in England. The original village was based around what is now Algie Street, named after Glasgow Merchant Matthew Algie, near the Battlefield Monument. In the early 19th century most of the inhabitants of the village were weavers although they also cultivated fruits and flowers. The area became part of the City of Glasgow in 1891 with the last of the original weaver’s cottages being demolished in 1905.
