Auldhouse is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated south of the River Clyde along the banks of the Auldhouse Burn, a tributary of the White Cart Water.
The housing stock mostly consists of inter-war sandstone terraces and 1950's tenement housing.
History
The area takes its name from the former Auldhouse mansion, the oldest house in Glasgow's south side, dating from 1631. The house was extended and converted to apartments in 1983.
At the time of the Industrial Revolution, the waters of the Auldhouse Burn served the local cotton trade with bleachfields and dye-works associated with the textile mills of nearby Pollokshaws.
