On the north-east bank of the Kelvin, and just overlooking its junction with the Clyde, there stands Yorkhill House on the extreme western portion of the Overnewton estate. In early spring and summer the house and its surroundings still possess a faint shadow of their former sylvan beauty, and are reminiscent, in a fragmentary way, of how Dumbarton Road was adorned on either side, all the way from Glasgow to Partick, some eighty or ninety years ago.
