| Comment | Yep. Although a lot of Glasgow neighbourhoods and districts are named after old villages or towns that long predated them (eg. Pollokshaws, Langside, Govan, Strathbungo), many many others especially in the West End and Southside are actually named after old mansion houses and estates that used to be there.
Cessnock, Bellahouston, Broomhill, Castlemilk, Kinning Park, Kingston for example. There's many more, but that's just a few off the top of my head.
Auldhouse is one of the few where the villa at the centre of the old estate still exists. |
