An ancient town downriver from Glasgow ,trains from central and Charing Cross. Its ancient riverside castle and the Denny tank are two of the most interesting attractions.

Crookston Castle is in the care of Historic Scotland but has free entry. You get two castles for the price of one. It has the ditch and earthen rampart of a 12th century ringwork castle and in the centre the ruinous remains of a 15th century stone castle of unusual form. It's on a hilltop and there's a good view of the southwest side of the city from the top of the tower.

Off Brockburn Road, Pollok, SW of Glasgow city centre. Exit M8 at Junction 26
