Battlefield is arguably one of Glasgow Southside’s most underrated neighbourhoods, although increasing numbers of people from across the city are choosing to make it their home.
The area takes its name from the 1568 Battle of Langside, which is commemorated by a monument unveiled in 1887 to mark the battle’s 320th anniversary.
With a thriving food and drink scene — and a couple of recent new openings — we thought it was the perfect time to shine a spotlight on Battlefield.
Here are 11 of the best food an drink places to check out in Battlefield this summer.
5. Common Ground
Although Common Ground may be best known for their Battlefield 'Barrowland' mural, it is undoubtedly one of our favourite spots in the area. It is a great little neighbourhood haunt which aims to be at the heart of the community. 186 Battlefield Road, Glasgow G42 9JT. | Common Ground
