Covering: Newton Mearns, Whitecraigs, Patterton, Mearnskirk, Kirkhill.
The local landmark: Mearns Castle, a 15th century tower house, still stands on the edge of Newton Mearns beside the high school that shares its name.
On the ground: Largely detached and semi detached houses with driveways, including big new build estates where van access is easy. Kerbside works well here: have everything at the door and the driver loads.
While you wait for the van: James II granted Lord Maxwell a royal licence to build Mearns Castle in 1449, and the restored medieval tower is now joined to a modern church.
