A new statue of Glasgow architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh, commissioned by the Sanctuary Housing Association who are responsible for the development behind him. The statue marks the 90th anniversary of his death. The sculptor is Andy Scott, probably better known for "see-through" sculptures such as the Kelpies, the Heavy Horse by the M8 m-way, several in Clackmannanshire and many more elsewhere.

Part of a 1920s municipal housing scheme. Many of the houses are now owner-occupied, and demonstrate features typical of this - replacement windows and doors, added porches, varied colour-schemes. The streets are named on a 'Walter Scott' theme. Nearby there is Kenilworth Avenue, Lammermoor Terrace, Abbotsford Road and Crescent.
