About Croftfoot
Where to stay in Croftfoot
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Castlemilk House is the one draw. Croftfoot itself is housing, so a bed here comes from the streets around Croftpark Avenue rather than from any hotel, and the choice is really between the Glasgow side toward King's Park and the Rutherglen side toward Spittal and Bankhead. King's Park Church stands on Castlemilk Road.
Anyone with business in the Linn ward will find the position convenient; sightseers will not.
About Croftfoot
What are the main landmarks in Croftfoot?
Castlemilk House leads. King's Park Church stands on Castlemilk Road, Croftfoot Parish Church and Hall occupies Croftpark Avenue, and a further church on Dougrie Road completes a list that is parochial in every sense. Four buildings, no museum.
What Croftfoot preserves is the fabric of a housing district rather than a set of monuments.
What is the history of Croftfoot?
Renfrewshire once held it. Croftfoot lay historically within the civil parish of Cathcart, and the lines that govern it place the area in the Linn ward of Glasgow City Council, with the Rutherglen districts of Spittal and Bankhead pressing on two sides. Castlemilk House stands on the local roll.
The register also carries it as Bun na Croite.
