[5] Ross Hall Hospital,[6] now a private healthcare facility, is based in the former country house of the same name (built 1877, at one time the residence of the owner of the Lobnitz shipyards on the River Clyde), later the 'Scottish Hotel School' linked to the University of Strathclyde.
[citation needed] Rosshall Park (purchased by the city and opened to the public in the 1960s)[10] was created from the estate grounds of the current mansion and includes the ruined remains of its predecessor 'Ross Hill'.
[11][7] National Cycle Route 7 runs through the park, which has a Category B listed walled rock garden designed by James Pulham and Son.
[12] The estate's red sandstone stables block off the main road was adapted into apartments in the 1990s,[13][7] Opposite the stables block on the main road is a gastro pub, 'The Pines', a converted black-and-white painted Tudor-style mansion and physician's residence / surgery which has had its present function for several decades.
[14][7] Rosshall is part of the wider Crookston area[7] which includes two distinct localities, one immediately to the north of Rosshall including Crookston railway station and formed mostly by large suburban villas developed in the late 19th century,[7][10][15] with the neighbourhoods of Ralston (in Renfrewshire) and Cardonald (in the City of Glasgow) at either end, and the other part – to the south of Rosshall via the Howford Bridge over the White Cart which also leads to Pollok and Crookston Castle[16][7] – comprising a sprawling development of modern suburban housing, including the original buildings of Leverndale Hospital now converted into apartments.
