Darnley is an area in south-west Glasgow, Scotland located on the A727 just west of Arden. For a relatively small area, it has many large stores and restaurants.
Darnley Trading Estate and large retail outlets clustered around the southward extension of the M77 (completed in 1997). The closure of Darnley Hospital in 1990 and the opening on the site of a £3million 120-bed nursing home in 1993 has also altered the employment opportunities for the local population and has become symptomatic of the regeneration of modern Darnley. There is a huge retail area with large chains - sainsburys,tesco, B&Q, Global video, snack vans and smaller stores.
