Cowcaddens: Information from Answers.com

Cowcaddens is an area of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. It is located virtually in the city centre and is bordered by the areas of Garnethill to the south and Townhead to the east.

Housing in the area is primarily ex-council housing (there are no council houses in Glasgow since their transfer to the Glasgow Housing Association). A notable feature of Cowcaddens since 1957 is that it was the location of STV's headquarters (now located at Pacific Quay). The Theatre Royal continues at the corner of Hope Street where it opened in the 1860s. Glasgow Caledonian University is nearby. Cowcaddens is served by Cowcaddens subway station on the Glasgow Subway system.

The socialist politician Edward Hunter, who was instrumental in helping build the left in New Zealand, was a Labour councillor for Cowcaddens from 1937 till 1959.
