Barrowfield, a suburb of Glasgow, in Calton parish, Lanarkshire, on what was the Burgh Moor, adjacent to the Clyde, at the south-western extremity of the city. Standing compact with Bridgeton, it is a dingy, smoky seat of factories and other works, with a chapel of ease and a Church of Scotland mission station. The Regent Murray, in 1568, encamped his army on the site of Barrowfield, and there received accessions of recruits and provisions from the city on the eve of his march to the field of Langside.
