Old photograph of houses on Killoch Drive in Knightswood, Glasgow, Scotland. Knightswood is a suburban district in Glasgow, containing 4 areas: Knightswood North or High Knightswood, Knightswood South or Low Knightswood, Knightswood Park and Blairdardie. It has a golf course and park, and good transport links with the rest of the city. Garscadden and Scotstounhill railway stations serve Low Knightswood while Westerton station serves High Knightswood. Knightswood is directly adjoined by the Anniesland, Drumchapel, Jordanhill, Netherton, Scotstoun and Yoker areas of Glasgow and by Bearsden in the North. Knightswood was a rural area of Dunbartonshire in the parish of New Kilpatrick with small scale mining until the land was purchased for housing by the city of Glasgow and was annexed by the city in 1926. In subsequent years, housing developments have been built on most of the remaining free plots, but the area remains largely green.
