Possilpark history


Upper and Lower Possil estate

Alexander II of Scotland granted certain lands to the Bishop of Glasgow in 1242. These included the lands in the north referred to as Possele, divided in the sixteenth century into Over or Upper Possil, and Nether or Lower Possil. The region known as Nether Possil was acquired in 1595 by Robert Crawford, who was the son of Hew Crawford of Cloberhill. In 1644 James Gilhagie of Kenniehill bought the estate, part of an old and rich Glasgow family.

Saracen Foundry

Walter MacFarlane sold 100 acres (0.40 km) of the estate to expand his foundry company Saracen Foundry. The main house of the main house was also demolished as the foundry works expanded. Possilpark grew from a population of 10 people in 1872 to 10,000 by 1891. After World War II, the company closed and the infrastructure was demolished.
