Crookston, Glasgow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crookston is a residential suburb on the southwestern edge of the Scottish city of Glasgow.

Formerly a village in its own right, Crookston (Crocis toune), its surrounding lands and castle, were named after the feudal Norman lord, Sir Robert de Croc, who was gifted the Levern valley in Renfrewshire by King David I of Scotland in 1170.

In the 1920s, Crookston, together with neighbouring Cardonald, Hillington and Halfway, was annexed to the then-expanding city of Glasgow. Crookston now lies just within Glasgow's present-day border with Ralston, Renfrewshire.
