-|[[Kelvinside]] & [[Kelvindale]]|Families,​ Professionals,​ Students |Both areas are quiet, leafy and pleasant, and border with the Forth & Clyde canal, which is a scenic route for cyclists and walkers. Kelvinside is a wealthy neighbourhood of mansion houses and grand sandstone terraces. Kelvindale is a suburban neighbourhood of semi-detached and terraced modern houses, and blocks of flats of various periods and styles.
