Originally part of the Burgh of Govan in Renfrewshire, it was annexed by the City of Glasgow in 1912, but it retains a distinct local identity. Cathcart is mainly a residential area, containing a mix of tenements, terraces and villas built from red or blonde sandstone. There are some historic buildings, including the Couper Institute (a public hall and library) and the Snuff Mill. Local industry includes the engineering group Weir, and Scottish Power.
