Hi everyone, and welcome back! Today's post is a little different from the usual travel adventures. Instead of a destination far away, we're taking a stroll through a neighborhood that's become a favorite of mine and my partner. It's a place we often go for walks, and once, we even spent an afternoon simply relaxing in the car while he read, enjoying a bowl of rice and stew. It was such a peaceful day, and of course, we couldn't resist snapping a few photos, which I'll be sharing with you.
Sighthill is a neighborhood located in the Scottish city of Glasgow. Positioned north of the River Clyde, it forms part of the larger Springburn area in the northern part of the city.
This neighborhood is still under development, so there’s a lot of open space. It's rarely crowded, making it the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and watch the birds or ducks at the nearby ponds. It’s just a stone’s throw away from Pinkston Water Park, and the two spots complement each other beautifully.

What I Love About Sighthill
Sighthill is peaceful and calm, with plenty of outdoor space that feels perfect for both kids and adults. I’m not sure what the future holds for the remaining open areas – whether they’ll be developed into more housing – but I personally hope they keep some of the natural beauty that makes this place feel so special.
The ponds here add a perfect touch of nature to the neighborhood, creating a balanced blend of modern living and outdoor tranquility. And because they’re set a little away from the housing areas, they offer a quiet retreat without feeling too far from home.
There’s a school and a church nearby, and I’ve noticed they’re selling houses in the area. One thing I’ve observed is that the front yards are quite small, almost right on the street, but even so, the overall feel of the neighborhood remains green, quiet, and inviting.
I’d love to hear your thoughts! What do you think of this neighborhood? Could you imagine yourself living in a place like this?
...I found that Sighthill was formed as part of the Springburn Comprehensive Development Area. That sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful place to live.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your beautiful part of the world! Aloha
ReplyDeleteEs un lindo lugar. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Invitation to pop over, what a lovely place to live! I've never visited Scotland, but my Mom was from North Wales and I've been there {born there actually}, my Dad met my Mom there when they had American Military Bases in her Country. My American Dad was stationed in England so we got to spend time there too in the 1970's. Both my Brother and I were Born abroad in fact, my Mom always went Home to give Birth, feeling more supported there since her Family are quite close and my Parents had an intercultural interracial Union, which back in those days was not as acceptable in America, so it was probably safer for Mother and Child in Europe in those Days. I still have relatives in North Wales and on the Reservations of America. I Love the Arizona Desert where we Retired, my Husband was Career Military just like my Dad was. Thanks for Sharing a slice of your Heaven here on Earth, I've added your delightful Blog to my sidebar.
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be a fine neighborhood. I am glad you are enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteI hope the developers take note of your observations. We all benefit from being around nature. The water lilies looked amazing, I can see why you would like to spend quality time there. I have been to Glasgow but that was over 30 years ago so definitely time for another visit.
ReplyDeleteLovely town ! Lovely pictures !
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit !
Have a nice week !

What a beautiful area! I can certainly see why you and your partner like to spend time there.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a perfect place to stroll around, relax, read or just chill.
I hope this developing neighbourhood keeps its beauty.
How gorgeous are those water lilies!
I lived for a couple of years in Hyndland and then moved to Milngavie. However, I left the Glasgow area many, many years ago. Sighthill is not somewhere that I ever visited. The water lilies are lovely.
ReplyDeleteHello Melady :)
ReplyDeleteI can see why you like this neighbourhood, there is a positive change going on, with plenty of relaxation areas o enjoy. Lovely pictures of the waterlilies.
All the best

Looks like a lovely place to live! Beautiful photos, Take care, have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteIt's really lovely and relaxing place.
ReplyDeleteHappy sunday!:)
The water lilies are quite lovely and I think the last photo gives the best vibe. It’s too bad about the graffiti, though. The white bench is inviting.
ReplyDeleteDziękuję za wizytę na moich stronkach. Jakie ścieżki przyprowadziły Cię do mnie?
ReplyDeleteMiałam tylko zerknąć na Twoje strony, ale chyba zostanę na dłużej i postaram się zaglądać tutaj częściej.
Będzie mi miło, jak również kiedyś zajrzysz do mnie.
pozdrawiam serdecznie
napisałam to trochę inaczej? Dlaczego zostało to zmienione? Jest jakiś translator?

Myślę, że fajnie się tam żyje. Jeszcze nie byłam w Glasgow.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, it's a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteI also live in such a quiet and peaceful area, so such a picturesque environment would suit me very well.
In such a location you can relax wonderfully.
Hi Melody, thanks for stopping by my blog. You have some lovely photos of this neighborhood, but I cannot imagine myself living in any town or city! I would love to see Glasgow one day, though.
ReplyDeleteSighthill looks and sounds like the perfect neighbourhood to live or just spend some time in. I do hope that with time the perfect blend of modern living and outdoor tranquility remains! xxx
ReplyDeleteSighthill looks so lovely and peaceful! The mix of nature and modern living seems perfect. I’d enjoy living in a place like that.
ReplyDeleteI like places where you can slow down and escape the hustle and bustle.
ReplyDeleteMelody, a truly beautiful place to live! It looks wonderfully pleasant!!! The sunshine in your photos adds to its charm!
ReplyDeleteMelody, I hope all is well and you? Unfortunately there is a big flood in Poland now... :(
Melody, I salute you!
Sighthill looks absolutely lovely!

ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a wonderful place to spend some time. I'm so glad you are able to visit it often! Lots of open space and low crowds makes it sound really ideal. I hope they keep some of that natural beauty so you can enjoy it for many years to come! Your pictures are so beautiful <3
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
It looks good. It used to be quite a bad place to live but they have done a lot of work on it and made it a much nicer and safer place.
ReplyDeleteHola, gracias por tu visita a mi blog de cocina. Justo hace 2 semanas estuve haciendo un recorrido por Escocia, Todo me pareció precioso, los montes, lagos y paisajes. Sus vacas y ovejas. Y los pueblos y ciudades preciosos. Un fuerte abrazo.
