Formerly part of the County of Renfrew, Crosshill had a brief existence as an independent police burgh from 1871 until it was absorbed by Glasgow in 1891.

Crosshill also borders Queen's Park and Mount Florida to the south, Strathbungo to the west and Polmadie to the east.

This monument was about ten feet high and three-and-a-half wide, and bore a sculptured representation of Christ entering Jerusalem riding on an ass.

Crosshill is in the Glasgow South (UK Parliament constituency); the sitting MP is Stewart McDonald.

Designed by Scots architect William McNicol Whyte, around 1886, the curved terrace incorporates a figure at the eastern corner, holding a shield and brandishing a now broken sword.

Situated at an angle of 45 degrees to Dixon Avenue and Cathcart Road, the Scottish Baronial building was completed in 1879.

Archaeology Scotland and local residents from the Bowling Club and Community Gardens plan to excavate parts of the Crosshill site where it is believed the first stadium once stood.
