Colquhoun Drive, Rosshead

At the time of the first-edition OS map (c.1860), there were no houses in the area that is now called Rosshead. However, just to the north, in what is now Boathouse Wood, a building called Rosehead stood close to the point where a branch line left the main railway line. It seems likely that Rosehead, with a minor alteration, gave the area its name. (The branch line mentioned above crossed the River Leven by means of what is now just a Image)
