Maryhill barracks pictured in 1903
From 1878 until its closure in 1959, Maryhill barracks was a significant presence within the district and remains so even today, thanks to the survival of a significant part of the perimeter wall encircling the Wyndford housing estate. The choice of location was discussed over a long period and, after construction began, was protracted due to a serious dispute between the war office and the contractor.
