Levern Water

The Levern Water (Scottish Gaelic: Uisge Labharain) is a small river in East Renfrewshire and Glasgow, Scotland. It rises in the Long Loch and flows generally north and east, past the towns of Neilston and Barrhead, for a total distance of 9 miles (14 km). It empties into the White Cart River. The Levern Water facilitated the socio-economic growth of parts of East Renfrewshire by providing water power for cotton mills and homes.

Silverburn Shopping Centre

Silverburn is an out-of-town shopping centre located on Barrhead Road in Pollok, Glasgow, Scotland. The development replaces the 75-acre (30-hectare) Pollok centre with a brand new 1,500,000-square-foot (140,000-square-metre) shopping centre, anchored by Tesco, Next, Marks & Spencer and previously Debenhams before it closed in 2021.

Roughmussel

Roughmussel is a neighbourhood in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated south of the River Clyde near to the city boundaries with East Renfrewshire to the south and Renfrewshire to the west. The area was originally part of Renfrewshire until being subsumed by Glasgow in the 1920s. Roughmussel was built on the lands of the former Roughmussel Farm, which covered around 40 acres. The farmhouse was constructed around 1870 to replace the original building that stood on the opposite side of Barrhead Road (approximately where the electricity substation is now). The farm was notably mentioned in the General Review of the Agriculture of Renfrew, where it was described using the Scots term 'paffle', meaning a small piece of land, croft, or allotment. It also appears on Thomas Richardson's 1795 map of the area as 'Rochmusch'. The area developed as a small isolated council estate off Crookston Road, with around 200 local authority houses built in the 1950s which replaced two original rows of cottages. The estate later extended towards Pollok with a few streets of private homes in the 1970s. Since the expansion of Crookston southwards along the main road to meet Roughmussel in the early 21st century, the area is often regarded as part of Crookston. Barrhead Road, the other main thoroughfare in the area, features a row of local shops. Househill Park and the Hurlet is to the south and south-west, through which the Levern Water flows. The land to the west of Roughmussel towards Paisley remains open green belt countryside and woodland. A residential park with a children's play area lies to the north-west adjoining housing at Raeswood built in the 2010s.

Priesthill

Priesthill (Scottish Gaelic: Cnoc an t-Sagairt) is a neighbourhood in the south of the River Clyde in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It falls under the Greater Pollok ward of the city council area. The Darnley neighbourhood is located to the south, on the opposite side of the Glasgow South Western Line railway (both areas are served by Priesthill and Darnley railway station), while Nitshill lies to the west and Househillwood and the Silverburn Centre shopping complex to the north. The M77 motorway runs to the east of Priesthill with open farmland beyond.
