"NITSHILL, village in Levern vale, 4 miles south-east of Paisley, Renfrewshire. It adjoins extensive mineral works, and has a railway station and a Free church. Pop. 1001."
[From The Gazetteer of Scotland, by Rev. John Wilson, 1882.]
For an excellent history of Nitshill, I can highly recommend "Villages of Glasgow", Volume 2 by Aileen Smart, pp. 119-137. The book was published in 1996 by John Donald Publishers Ltd., 138 St Stephen Street, Edinburgh EH3 5AA (ISBN 0 85976 391 9). Included with the history is a map of Nitshill.
