Dawsholm Park

Dawsholm Park is a public park in Glasgow, Scotland, adjoining the Kelvindale, Maryhill and Temple areas of the city, and southern parts of the town of Bearsden.

The park was created from lands purchased by Glasgow City Council from Sir Archibald Campbell of Succoth, in 1922.

Sir Archibald then gifted an area of land contaminated with oil shale waste adjoining the eastern boundary of the woodland.

As part of the environmental and ecological work in the park, Highland Cattle are being used in a managed grazing programme on the grassy areas, to encourage the development of wildflower meadows.

[2] The peripheries of the park include the University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine, the institution's sporting facilities (Garscube Complex),[3][4] the West of Scotland Science Park,[5] and one of the four main waste recycling facilities in the city, serving its north-west sector.
