Fernhill is a mid rise housine estate in Springburn, Glasgow. It consists of rows of 6/7 storey maisonette blocks on the side of built to replace Springburn's tenement slums. These were badly built and completely illetable by 1989 because of damp and crime. They were then given a new lease of life: given new roofs, cladding and were completely renovated inside. This project was successful and many of the flats are occupied to this day.:
