Origin & history
Merrylee and the surrounding lands of Newlands were dedicated to agricultural use until the late 19th century. A notice from the Glasgow Herald of 28 July 1820 describes the "Farm of Newlands and Merrylee" with 124 acres (50 hectares) available to let. Merrylee House was a mansion built in 1855 for Glasgow businessman Thomas Hill, Registrar of Sasines for the Regality of Glasgow, who was responsible for recording ownership of properties within the city. The area was the subject of controversy when, in 1952, the Glasgow Corporation housing department attempted to sell some of its council houses
