Tollcross Park occupies an area of 37 hectares (91 acres) between Shettleston and Tollcross. It opened in 1897, having been purchased by from the Dunlop family
Tollcross House was built in 1848 for James Dunlop who was one of the owners of the Clyde Iron Works. David Bryce and William Burn were the architects and the building replaced a substantial house that the original owners of the estate, the Corbets, had occupied. In 1897 the house, now within the centre of the public park, became a Children's Museum and was converted into flats in 1989, then as accommodation for the elderly in 2003. It's now to be renovated into modern flats.
In 2008, Tollcross was voted the best park in Scotland with its children's farm based around the former main lodge building at its eastern side, the rose garden in the southern section (set out in 1986, which holds annual cultivation trials) playing fields in the north part and a secret garden area.
Running through the park and the house is the Tollcross burn and it is by this burn that you will find the treasured cache
