The affluent residents include some of the biggest names in academia, sport, and entertainment. The area boasts a range of gourmet restaurants, trendy bars, and chic boutiques and three private schools Glasgow High, Kelvinside Academy, and Glasgow Academy all within a short radius.

However, almost 70 years ago it was the scene of one of the city s most brutal murders when a local Sunday school teacher inexplicably shot dead a police officer then turned the gun on himself. Hyndland was an unlikely area for such a terrible crime and the privately educated perpetrator Edwin Finlay an even unlikelier killer.
