Tollcross, Glasgow

Tollcross is an area north of the River Clyde in Glasgow and has a popular park which is famed for its international rose trials.

The area was once host to mass employment in the industrial age but has gradually declined and now faces social deprivation issues as does much of the east end of Glasgow, the McVitie's biscuit factory is one of the main employers in the area today. In 2005 the East End Leisure Centre in Tollcross park became a feature of the area, having an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
