History
The church was designed by W G Rowan, of McKissack and Rowan, and constructed between 1875-1879. It is in the style of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson in blonde and red sandstone with slate roof. With three prominent elevations to the west, east and south which have raised Ionic porticos above a podium with a Doric entrance to the south. With its giant square tower the former church is a local landmark.
There is a later stone extension to the minor north elevation and further single storey extension at lower ground floor level. The former churn, including boundary walls and gate piers are listed Grade B. The interior of the building has been completely refurbished and includes two lifts and stairs. New floors have been formed, the walls dry lined and all the windows replaced. There are no interior period features remaining.

Pollockshields has evolved over the last 150 years into one of the finest suburbs in Scotland. Its development was promoted by the original landowners, the Maxwells of Nether Pollock, who had been resident in Pollock House since the 18th century.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
