Share your views on Cathkin Park, Glasgow

We had been asked to consider the designation of the football ground at Cathkin Park (1884-1903) in Glasgow which is known as the location of the 2nd Hampden Park and the former home of Queens Park and Third Lanark football clubs.  

We asked for your help

To help inform our assessment, from 30 August to 29 November 2024, we gathered comments and information from people who had a view on its design, history and significance.

We asked you to tell us about the history of the place. Did you think this site is of cultural significance? Did you think it should be designated as a listed building or scheduled monument?

We received 45 submissions of information. All 45 responses stated they saw Cathkin Park as part of Scotland’s heritage and that it is culturally significant. A total of 32 of the respondents submitted more detailed information explaining their opinion. All submissions were framed positively and supportive of a view that Cathkin Park is an important part of our heritage. No issues were raised that put into question the cultural significance of the site.

After considering the comments, we carried out an assessment against the criteria for National Importance to identify the cultural significance of the site for potential designation. We intend to open a Citizen Space Consultation in early summer 2025 to share our assessment and gather further views on our outlined proposal for possible designation at Cathkin Park.
