View from Crookston Castle - WSW
The viewpoint for this picture was the top of Crookston Castle.
The nearest houses at the left-hand edge of the image stand alongside Brockburn Road. The closest houses just right of centre, where a car is rounding a corner, are on Towerside Crescent.
The tower visible in the right-hand side of the image belongs to Leverndale Hospital, which was built in 1895, and was formerly known as Hawkhead Asylum. At the time of writing, Leverndale Hospital, which now includes more recent buildings, was still in use, and served as a psycho-geriatric unit.
The distant hills in the left of the image are the area around Gleniffer Braes.

Crookston Castle
Crookston Castle, in the Pollok area of Glasgow, is an early 15th century construction. It is surrounded by a defensive ring ditch that dates back to the 12th century when Sir Robert Croc built an earlier castle and chapel. Crookston Castle sits on top of a natural hill and has four square corner towers. Only the north-east corner tower survives to its former height. Today, Crookston Castle is a Category A listed building. This view of the castle is from the south.
