Dennistoun is a district in the city of Glasgow. It is situated north of the River Clyde in the east end of the city. There is a small area of Victorian villas located west towards the city centre, which illustrates the original plan for the whole area. Unable to attract the middle-class residents intended by its original developers, it established itself as a working class area for families. After the Second World War, the area's Victorian tenements were refurbished rather than replaced with high-rise modernist blocks as in other working-class districts such as neighbouring Calton and Parkhead, and this, coupled with proximity to the city centre and Strathclyde and Caledonian universities, has contributed to the its popularity in recent years; many of its residents are now students and young professionals.
