About Shawlands
- Shawlands is home to one of the finest concentrations of independent businesses on the south side of Glasgow, and the area's high street has consistently been recognised as one of the best in Scotland for independent retail and hospitality. The neighbourhood sits close to Pollok Country Park, the largest park in Glasgow and one of the largest urban parks in Europe, which is home to the Burrell Collection — a world-class art collection gifted to the city by the shipping magnate Sir William Burrell and housed in a purpose-built gallery that reopened in 2022 after a major refurbishment. Queens Park, which lies to the east of Shawlands, was designed by Sir Joseph Paxton — the architect of the Crystal Palace — and offers panoramic views across the south side of the city.
