Abbotsinch

[1] Its southern edge was delineated by the burgh boundary of Paisley, although after the 1975 local government reorganisation in Scotland these demarcations became unofficial.

Abbotsinch largely consisted of farmland before the construction of a Royal Air Force airfield there in 1932.

The Georgian mansion Walkinshaw House, one of Robert Adam's most significant works[2] was demolished in 1927 to enable the runway to be constructed.

Today all that remains of the estate are parts of the walled garden which lie to the west of Glasgow Airport's runway.

The White Cart Viaduct carries the motorway above the airport access routes: its height was intended for large vessels to pass under, however this has never been needed.
