Looking at side by side maps, part of Scotia Street was where Oakgrove Primary School sits today

It was near New City Road and there are 21 pictures of that road here

Thank you so much Istrice, for the info and the linked map.

Well that explains why I was unable to locate Scotia Street then. At least I know the general vicinity of where Scotia Street was. Just a pity it's somewhere beneath the M8 motorway as it would have been nice to visit the actual street.

Hi everyone,

I have just started taking an interest in my heritage and came across this great site.

I was born at Glasgow Maternity Hospital in May 1959.

According to my birth certificate, my mother was resident at 4 Scotia Street Glasgow although when I do a google search I can only find Scotia Street in Motherwell.

I live in Birmingham now so not familiar with the Glasgow area. Can anyone confirm if Motherwell would be classed as the Glasgow area or was there an actual Scotia Street in Glasgow it's self? If so any information about it's location would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in anticipation.
