Anderston is an area of Glasgow, Scotland. It is on the north bank of the River Clyde and forms the south western edge of the city centre. Established as a village of handloom weavers in the early 18th century, Anderston was an independent burgh of barony from 1824 until it was incorporated into the City of Glasgow in 1846.

Anderston Centre (now known as Cadogan Square), built at the turn of the 1970s, was the flagship development of the regenerated Anderston, but would ultimately prove controversial. 2011 image.
