Description: View from Crookston Castle - WSW The viewpoint for this picture was the top of Crookston Castle. The nearest houses at the left-hand edge of the image stand alongside Brockburn Road. The closest houses just right of centre, where a car is rounding a corner, are on Towerside Crescent. [The tower visible in the right-hand side of the image belongs to Leverndale Hospital, which was built in 1895, and was formerly known as Hawkhead Asylum: http://www.theglasgowstory.com/image.php?inum=TGSG00005 At the time of writing, Leverndale Hospital, which now includes more recent buildings, was still in use, and served as a psycho-geriatric unit.] The distant hills in the left of the image are the area around Gleniffer Braes.
