About Shieldhall
What are the main landmarks in Shieldhall?
Badminton dominates the short list. The National Badminton Academy and the Sir Craig Reedie Badminton Centre are the two names the record gives Shieldhall, an unusual pairing for a district of the Govan area. Shiels stands on Old Renfrew Road, the third and last entry.
Beyond them the district returns to the south bank of the River Clyde, with Govan continuing on the same side.
What is the history of Shieldhall?
Govan holds the older name. Shieldhall enters the record as part of the wider Govan area rather than as a settlement in its own right, and no founding or charter year attaches to it. The River Clyde runs along its northern edge.
Shiels on Old Renfrew Road, the National Badminton Academy and the Sir Craig Reedie Badminton Centre are the fabric the registers actually name.
