Anniesland is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated north of the River Clyde, and centres around the junction of the Great Western Road and Crow Road; also known as Anniesland Cross. This is the second busiest intersection in Europe, and renowned for confusing right turns when approaching from the North or South.Fact|date=January 2008

Its collection of small shops is located near Anniesland railway station, located on the Argyle and North Clyde Lines, which ensures good links with the rest of the city. Meanwhile, set back to the North of Great Western Road, is a small retail park consisting of a large Morrisons supermarket (ex-Safeway "Megastore"), as well as branches of Mothercare, Comet and Instore.

Anniesland is also home to Anniesland Court, Scotland's tallest listed building.Fact|date=February 2008
