| OS grid ref: | NS 59 58 |
Linn sits on the south-eastern edge of Glasgow City in Scotland, a largely suburban and semi‑rural ward notable for its green, wooded valleys and parks. Large swathes of open space such as Linn Park and the wooded glens carved by the White Cart Water give the area a distinctly rural feel within the city boundary, and the name "Linn" itself comes from the Scots word for a waterfall or pool.
Socially and economically the ward is mixed: residential suburbs sit alongside former council‑estate neighbourhoods and local shopping parades, and there are active community groups and regeneration projects addressing pockets of deprivation. Its proximity to open‑air attractions and high ground nearby, such as the Cathkin Braes, makes it popular for walking, cycling and outdoor recreation while retaining a strong local identity distinct from Glasgow's urban core.
