Facts and practical information

Provanmill is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It lies to the north east of the city centre. Since the 1950s however, the area has become a major area of deprivation, with chronic housing and drug-related crime problems, although towards the end of this decade the image of Provanmill and its surrounding areas is improving. Blackhill, one of the most notorious housing estates in the area, was demolished in 1990 to make way for the M80 Stepps bypass. ()
