Parkhead

Parkhead is a district in the East End of Glasgow. Its name comes from a small weaving hamlet at the meeting place of the Great Eastern Road and Westmuir Street. Glasgow's Eastern Necropolis cemetery was laid out in the area in 1847 beside the Gallowgate. It borders with Shettleston and Tollcross to the immediate east, and Camlachie and Dennistoun to the west.
