About Crossmyloof
Where to stay in Crossmyloof
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Crossmyloof lies between Pollokshields, Strathbungo and Shawlands, so a base here is really a base among three neighbours, each of which brings its own streets and churches within a short walk. Haggs Castle stands nearby. Shields Road, Fotheringay Road and Glencairn Drive carry the listed churches, and Titwood adds another name on the same south side of Glasgow.

What is the history of Crossmyloof?
The name has a Gaelic form. Crois MoLiubha is the Gaelic form of Crossmyloof, and apart from Haggs Castle and Titwood the record here is entirely churches, spread across Shields Road, Fotheringay Road and Glencairn Drive. Pollokshields, Strathbungo and Shawlands surround it, and the church names carry those districts rather than Crossmyloof's own.
