A Hyndland Townhouse.

Hyndland is a residential area in the fashionable West End of the city of Glasgow, Scotland.

Bordering the Partick, Hillhead and Kelvinside areas, it is a middle-class area populated mainly by professionals (many employed at the nearby Glasgow University) and young bourgeois bohemians including a number of noted authors, poets and actors.

The area is defined principally by its tenements, built in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. There are also a number of townhouses built during these periods which contribute significantly to the area's character. While many of these townhouses have been split into multiple apartments to cater to modern urban living, a large number of them remain individual properties. This division accounts for the area's unusual demographic. The district can also be characterised by its famously large population of domestic cats.

There is a local school, Hyndland Secondary School, and the Glasgow and Hillhead-Jordanhill rugby teams play in the area at Hughenden Stadium.

Hyndland is served by a railway station on the North Clyde and Argyle lines, and by a number of bus routes. The nearest Subway station is Hillhead.
