Easterhouse is a suburb to the east of Glasgow city centre which was built on land gained from the county of Lanarkshire after the Second World War as part of the expansion of Glasgow.
Housing in the area began to be built in the mid-1950s, but the history of the land dates further back as sites such as Bishop Loch and Provan Hall remain significantly important sites in Scottish history.
