Simshill

Adjacent areas are Cathcart, King's Park, Croftfoot and Castlemilk.

Linn Park is to the south-west of Simshill.

The area had a high concentration of residents of Irish heritage in the postwar period, as members of the city's Irish community moved out to the suburbs from the inner city Gorbals.

[1] Kings Park Secondary School is in the immediate area.

Former residents of Simshill include Sir Alex Ferguson[2] and Carol Smillie.
