Tradeston is a small district in the Scottish city of Glasgow adjacent to the city centre on the south bank of the River Clyde. The name reflected its role as a primarly dockland area with a large number of warehouses and wharves along the riverside were vessels would be unloaded. It merges to the south and west with Kingston, and the two districts are often considered one and the same.
