Baillieston was a considerable distance from the Lands of Provan, the nearest part being present day Queenslie.
Even the lands to the north of Baillieston such as Hallhill and Bartibeith were not part of the Provan lands and, neither, surprisingly was the local area of Barlanark.
The Baillieston area was under a different church administration from Provan, where it and the surrounding land were all part of the Regality and rented out to tennants before and after the Reformation, wheras Provan was an endowment controlled by a Prebend.

 Monklands Online - Story of Baillieston
The village of Baillieston grew out of a number of small hamlets, including Crosshill, Barrachnie, and Bredisholm, which developed as farming and weaving communities in the latter part of the eighteenth century.
The opening up of the Monklands coalfield with the construction of the Monklands Canal and later the railway stimulated the rapid growth of Baillieston which soon acquired the typical character of a mining village although some weaving survived till almost the end of the century.
A continuous programme of pit sinking drew in workers from throughout Scotland and beyond, and the population grew rapidly to reach almost 4000 by the time of the First World War.

 Church of St John, Baillieston, Glasgow, Scotland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
When St John's was built in 1850, Baillieston was at the centre of an expanding mining industry.
The church registers reveal the terrible conditions of life in the district in the mid-nineteenth century with a high infant mortality rate and early deaths from contagious diseases and mining accidents.
The future of the church was in doubt following the closing of the collieries but with the development of housing in Garrowhill in the inter-war years the membership doubled with the influx of young people but unfortunately many soon moved on.
