There is a Barnhill in Glasgow its in the Springburn district ForestHall hospital used the buildings from the old Barnhill poorhouse was built in 1854. the piggery was across the road from it along the side of the railway but a little further up the road in an old map that shows the poorhouse it shows the football ground which is not in the area ive always known it to be so if there was a transit camp it might have been there and have left little trace since it may have been in tents.
