There are 33 allotment sites across Glasgow. In total, they cover just over 32 hectares (80 acres), which is roughly the size of Kelvingrove Park.

Most are the property of Glasgow City Council (GCC), but some are privately owned. Each site, whether council or private, is run by its own committee. You can contact each committee’s secretary via the details in each map location below.

We informally group them into 3 areas: North-West, North-East, and South.

Those with a ‘P’ symbol are privately owned, which just means they’re completely run and managed by their own committee rather than being tenants of Glasgow City Council.

Click on each site for contact details.

Glasgow City Council also has a map showing other sites they own: Parks, Play Areas, Cemeteries and Outdoor Recreation

Applying for a Plot

You should apply directly to the secretary of an Allotment Association giving your own contact details. You can apply to as many Allotment Associations as you like* and they’ll let you know when you reach the top of their list. You’ll then be invited to go and look at which plots are available.

*NB: Some privately owned allotment sites may have eligibility criteria, such as living within a given catchment area. Details will be available from the relevant secretary.

Allotment Open Days

Many sites hold an open day during the late spring or summer. If they’re allowed to go ahead this year, we’ll post info on the dates on our events calendar.
