This wee building has always intrigued me as it's on the periphery of Hillington Industrial Estate near to Hillington West Station and clearly not related to the building of Hillington Industrial Estate in 1937.

It appears on the 1925 OS map between the G and the L of Glasgow

It's also marked on the 1895 map.

There are also ruined farm buildings further west, just outside Hillington. If the weather's nice over the weekend I'll try and get some pics.

Here's a Google Earth capture.

Looking at your maps Scally, these buildings will be the ones above the 'O' in Arkleston on your first map and across the road from the '48' on the second.

The ruined farm buildings were called East Arkleston Farm. Here's a photo I took of it from Arkleston Road looking north, January 1981:-

Cheers Scally, I didn't see Neil's pic until I was posting mine up or I would've done one from the same angle for a P&P comparison.
