Cathcart (/ˌkæθˈkɑːrt/; Scots: Kithcart, Scottish Gaelic: Coille Chart)[1] is an area of Glasgow between Battlefield, Mount Florida, King's Park, Muirend and Newlands.

The earliest attestation appears in 1158, as Kerkert; here the first element is the Common Brittonic or Pictish word surviving today in modern Welsh as caer ("fortification").

[6] Cathcart is mainly a residential area, containing a mix of tenements, terraces and villas built from red or blonde sandstone.

[7] One of Alexander Thomson's most significant buildings, Holmwood House, is situated in Cathcart, close to the Glasgow city boundary.

The present Cathcart Old building was opened in 1929 and sits across Carmunnock Road from the earlier churchyard which contains the tower from the previous church and a graveyard.
