About

Linn ward is situated in the south of Glasgow City, encompassing several residential suburbs including Castlemilk, Carmunnock, and parts of Cathcart and Simshill. The area is largely residential with significant green space, including the expansive Castlemilk Park and the woodland trails of the Cathkin Braes. Its housing consists primarily of post-war developments and traditional homes, serving a settled community with local shopping precincts and schools.

A notable feature is the preserved rural village of Carmunnock, which lies within the city's boundaries but retains a distinct historic character with its cottages and village green. The southern boundary is marked by the open, elevated landscape of the Cathkin Braes Country Park, offering panoramic views over Glasgow. The area is connected by major roads like the A726 and is served by several bus routes, with Simshill and Cathcart providing rail links to the city centre.
