Knightswood, Dunbartonshire

Knightswood is a suburban district of Glasgow, forming part of the parish of New Kilpatrick, Dunbartonshire. Knightswood was a rural area with small-scale mining until the land was purchased for housing by the city of Glasgow in the 1920s. In subsequent years, housing developments were built on most of the remaining free plots (including two clusters of tower blocks) but the area remains largely green in line with garden suburb principles. It is within the council area of City of Glasgow.
