Put an HMV on the right... and thats Braehead :)

I think most of these malls look the same since I'm not a shopping mall person (a mall rat?)

I think it was the 20 that ran from Braehead to Pollok, down the side of Hillington Park

I think I will need to take a trip there this week. Looks like it might be a good shopping centre

See what you mean Stu

However! Unlike Braehead it is impossible to see from one end to the other and it looks much better from the outside.

I will get some photos of the outside and post them later.

I am sure you will like it but just remember not all the shops are open yet but most will be open by Christmas.

That would be great Stu.

Can you try and get one over Priesthill if you pass over that way.

A bit like this would be good.

See the 'Nitshill and Surrounding Areas' thread in Urban Adventures for some ground-level photos of Priesthill, taken around the same time as this aerial shot.

Ronnie

The photo was used by someone on another place to show where they belived the site of the Victoria Mine was.

I think Neil may have proved this wrong.

I was up that way this morning and took some photos of the area and the view to Silverburn.

Will post them up later.

Thanks, Alex. I was trying to be funny about the waterworks, which look like a very Victorian garden folly or perhaps a ruined stately home. I appreciate your contributions bringing Nitshill into the range of topics we are discussing, partly because I lived there for a year, and partly because it is an often overlooked area of the city.
Best, R
