Street Names
Many of the street names originate from the rulers of the ancient Kingdom of Strathclyde in the 6th century, e.g. Rederech Crescent (King Rederech), Langoreth Avenue (Queen Langoreth) and Royellen Avenue (Princess Royellen). It is said that the family's summer hunting lodge was in the Earnock area.
Many of the streets are also named after famous geographical features of Scotland: Lomond View is named after Ben Lomond, Fruin Rise after Glen Fruin near Loch Lomond and Iona Ridge after the island of Iona in Western Scotland.
