The cottage, which dates from the early 19th Century, was originally used as an amenity for the park. One of the few former farm buildings left in Glasgow, it's B-Listed, but now lies abandoned, fenced off and decaying.

The derelict remnants of Fairfield Farm Cottage in the Govan area of Glasgow. The farm was purchased by Isabella Elder in the 1880s and turned into Elder Park for the people of Govan.

An old black and white photograph labelled Elder Park, Gowan. Children are arranged round an artificial lake - a boy holds onto a toy boat in the water, and a girl looks down at her doll. In the background, a small girl stands in the lake, and further away people walk around it.
