About Knightswood
Where to stay in Knightswood
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Three Knightswoods, three stations. Garscadden and Scotstounhill serve Low Knightswood, Westerton serves High Knightswood, and Knightswood Park makes the third area, with a golf course and park inside the district. Anniesland, Jordanhill and Scotstoun adjoin it on the Glasgow side, and Bearsden closes the northern edge.
About Knightswood
What are the main landmarks in Knightswood?
Two churches carry the listings. Knightswood Congregational Church and Hall stands at 12 Dunterlie Avenue, and St David's Parish Church takes 66 Boreland Drive, both of them among the suburban streets rather than any centre. The golf course and park do more of the work here than any single building, and Knightswood Park lends its name to one of the district's three areas.
What is the history of Knightswood?
The name splits three ways. Knightswood North is also called High Knightswood, and Knightswood South is also called Low Knightswood. Two churches serve those streets, Knightswood Congregational Church and Hall on Dunterlie Avenue and St David's Parish Church on Boreland Drive.
Glasgow surrounds it on almost every side, with Anniesland, Blairdardie, Drumchapel, Garscadden, Jordanhill, Netherton, Scotstoun, Scotstounhill and Yoker all adjoining, and only Bearsden breaking the pattern in the north.
Where is Knightswood?
