Giffnock

The pond and boathouse of Rouken Glen Park

Information enquiry

Giffnock is a well-heeled, largely residential suburb situated 5 miles south of Glasgow city centre.

The area is enriched by two attractive greenspaces: Eastwood Park, which is home to Eastwood House, the Victorian mansion that was once home to Viscount Weir but is now used as a cultural and recreational venue, and Rouken Glen Park, one of the largest in Scotland which features a mix of landscapes and a boating pond.

Giffnock also plays host to Glasgow's largest Jewish community and the area has a range of religious and social amenities to support the faith.
