		Other features of Hillhead include the nearby Glasgow Botanical Garden, Hillhead High School, Glasgow Academy (a private school), and the Kelvinbridge, which straddles the River Kelvin which used to form an eastern boundary between Hillhead and Glasgow, until Hillhead's incoporation into the city.
