The White Elephant on Merrylee Road, was a pub which closed permanently in September 2022, with the owners saying it was unviable. Planning applications to demolish the building and replace it with flats were rejected by City of Glasgow Council, but a more recent application to partly demolish and refurbish it as a convenience store was approved in April 2024.
