Mount Florida

Mount Florida is an area in the southeastern corner of the Scottish city of Glasgow.

The origins of the name are uncertain. It has been stated that it derives from Mount Florida House, owned by a family from Florida, USA. However, the name has also been recorded as 'Mount Floridale' (1819), and 'Mount Floridon' (1840); suggesting that this may not be the case.

Mount Florida is served by the Mount Florida railway station which lies upon the Cathcart Circle railway line. The area is home to Langside College and the newly developed NHS hospital on the fringe of Queen's Park, due to open in 2009 . Primarily a residential area, Mount Florida's housing stock largely comprises traditional tenemental buildings with the addition of two of Glasgow's high rise structures which dominated much of the 1960's housing 'regeneration' in the city. The main road through 'the Mount' is Cathcart Road, a major route through Glasgow's south side.
