Bogany Flats, High-rise apartment building in Castlemilk, Scotland
Description
Bogany Flats is a 20-story residential tower in Glasgow's Castlemilk district containing around 114 apartments within its concrete structure. The building's tall form and plain appearance shaped how the neighborhood looked for many years.
History
George Wimpey Ltd built this tower in 1966 as the last of several apartment buildings completed across Glasgow that decade. It was part of a wave of modern housing projects that changed how the city looked during that time.
Culture
Local people called this tower 'The Hilton' as a nickname for the building standing above their neighborhood. The name showed how residents thought about their home and its place in the area.
Practical
The building stands on Bogany Terrace in the Castlemilk area surrounded by residential streets and local facilities. Visitors should know the location sits in Glasgow's southeast section and is best reached on foot or by local transit.
Did you know?
The tower came down in March 1993 through a controlled implosion, making it Glasgow's third successful building demolition of that kind. This marked the end of an era of tower block construction in the area and showed how the city's plans had shifted.
