Gallowhill

Gallowhill is a housing estate in the north east of Paisley, a town in Renfrewshire, Scotland.

Its approximate boundaries are formed by the M8 motorway to the north, the A741 Renfrew Rd to the west, to the south the Inverclyde railway line with Arkleston Farm making up the estate's eastern border.

The most common types of housing are cottage flats and two storey tenements, although there are some three storey units and terraced housing in addition to two tower blocks (Gallowhill Court and Glencairn Court).

The second phase has seen a depletion of its housing stock with the demolition of the tenement blocks in Dundonald Rd.

Notable former residents of Gallowhill include the actor Gerard Butler, painter Francis Convery, music manager John Reid, folk singer and music manager Danny Kyle, footballer James Grady, actor and musician Tom Urie, and musician Jim Dewar.
