NITSHILL
Nitshill expanded after 1848, when the Glasgow, Barrhead & Neilston Railway opened a station and by 1860 the population was 1,000. Nitshill was brought into Glasgow in 1926 and a large housing estate was built on the hills post 1945. There is little left of the original settlement and nothing of note in the housing scheme
