HMP Low Moss

Low Moss replaced the old Bishopbriggs huts with a purpose-built local on Grahamston Road — the east Glasgow fringe jail that takes pressure off Barlinnie when courts are busy.

Bishopbriggs local

HMP Low Moss (G64 2QN) is an SPS men’s local at Bishopbriggs, serving Glasgow and Lanarkshire court overflow. It is a reception and short-to-medium stay site, not Shotts.

Finding someone at Low Moss

SPS enquiry routes apply. Someone “in Glasgow” might be Barlinnie or Low Moss — establishment name matters for visit booking.

Visits

Consult sps.gov.uk for HMP Low Moss before each trip. New-build locals still change visit schedules when staffing shifts.

Grahamston Road

Bishopbriggs is north of Glasgow; Bishopbriggs rail station and M80 junctions feed the site. Avoid confusing Low Moss with HMP Glasgow in Riddrie.
