A map by Robert Ogilvy in 1741 shows a field called “The Park” just to the west of the building “Kinnen House” (later Kinning House) and immediately south of what today is Paisley Road Toll, but up to the 19th century was called Parkhouse Toll. “Kinning” could be linked to the Scots word “kinnen” meaning a rabbit.
