 Scottish Mining Villages - Renfrewshire
Standing amid a rich mineral field, where coal has been worked for upwards of three centuries, and ironstone for about sixty years, it was the seat from 1753 till 1820 of a copperas work, the only one in Scotland up to 1807.
It was founded about 1858 in connection with the working of ironstone mines, and like the mining village of Balaklava in the same county, received its name from the celebrated battle of the Crimean War.

 Glasgow Corporation Transport Newlands Service 48
However, as service 49 buses also used the terminus, it was necessary to watch a 48 bus arriving, and keep an eye on the roof to ensure that it was the same bus that was leaving.
Nitshill had never been afforded the luxury of tram or trolleybus travel, and the Larkfield and Ibrox motorbuses had been there from the start.
During the peak hours this would have been quite a game of chance, but if all of the buses are on the road and in position (sadly seldom the case throughout the period covered by this wee article) there should be a 48A running 3 minutes in front of him.

 Scottish Mining Villages - Nitshill 1851
On Saturday morning, the most fearful explosion occurred in the Victoria coal pit, belonging to the Messrs Coats of Paisley, situated at Nitshill, a few miles from Glasgow.
The place where the blast has evidently been most destructive it is in the direction of what is called the Free Trade pit, which is about half-a-mile from the mouth of the Victoria.
The accident was attributed to the damage of one of these stoppings, whilst the want of internal stoppings allowed the air to pass straight to the upcast shaft; and as the men were permitted to begin work without the examination of an overman, the gas discharged from the waste fired upon their naked lights.
