Cathcart
Cathcart is an area of the City of Glasgow between Mount Florida , King's Park, Muirend and Newlands. The River Cart flows through it.
Originally a village in Renfrewshire, it was absorbed by the City of Glasgow in the early years of the twentieth century, but it retains a distinct local identity. Cathcart is mainly a residential area, containing a mix of tenements, terraces and villas built from red or blonde sandstone. There are some historic buildings, including the Couper Institute (a public hall and library) and the Snuff Mill. Local industry includes the engineering group Weir, and Scottish Power.
