Langside: Information from Answers.com

Langside is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated south of the River Clyde, and lies east of Shawlands, south of Queens Park, west of Cathcart and north of Newlands. The district is residential and primarily middle-class, and has become an increasingly fashionable address in recent years. Housing stock is mainly of the Victorian tenement type, along with some townhouses of the same period. Langside is served by a railway station offering regular commuter services to Glasgow Central Station (high level) on the Cathcart Circle.

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 area currently has many popular restaurants including Battlefield Rest, Tinto tapas bar and The Ivory hotel, and is serviced by bars such as The Mission, Church on the Hill and Armstrongs.
