Haggs Castle, a baronial fortalice near the southern border of the Renfrewshire section of Govan parish, 1 mile N of Pollokshaws. Built by Sir John Maxwell of Pollok in 1585, it was long the jointure house of his descendants, and figures in connection with their sufferings for adherence to the Covenant. Apparently it was a structure of considerable strength, and now it is a picturesque ruin.—Ord. Sur., sh. 30, 1866.
