Map of Springboig, Glasgow, UK
Springboig lies to the north of Shettleston, Budhill and east of Greenfield, Carntyne and Lightburn Hospital and Greenfield Park, and is just south of Edinburgh Road (A8) and Cranhill. Like many similar publicly funded 'schemes', these were built in the late 1940s on the outskirts of the city to alleviate the post-war housing shortage. The Springboig scheme was built prior to the much larger schemes Cranhill, Barlanark, Ruchazie, Easterhouse, Easthall and Wellhouse, which lie to the north and east of Springboig.
