Stamperland is an area of Clarkston in East Renfrewshire, Scotland. Part of the Greater Glasgow conurbation, it is situated on the west bank of the White Cart Water about 4+1⁄2 miles (7 kilometres) south of Glasgow city centre, and just outside the city boundary.
Stamperland is an area of Clarkston, to the south of Glasgow. Adjacent places are Netherlee to the north and the rest of Clarkston to the south. It is bordered by Clarkston Road to the west, the railway to the south and the White Cart Water to the east. It is served by the Glasgow Central to East Kilbride line through Clarkston railway station at the south of the area. Also somewhat nearby are Muirend and Williamwood stations on the Neilston branch of the Cathcart Circle, respectively located north and south-west of Stamperland.
The area is mainly housing dating from the 1920s and early 1930s, previously farmland under the farms of Stamperland (around The Oval today), Slamanshill (around Stamperland Avenue) and Overlee, which still exists today in the Overlee Park.[2] but there is a small group of local shops located at the junction of Clarkston Road, Stamperland Crescent and Stamperland Gardens. Also at this location is the former Stamperland Parish Church (Church of Scotland). Other local facilities include a social club, bowling and tennis clubs. The area also contains the large Overlee Park, which is home to multiple football pitches, and a large children's playground.
For census purposes, Stamperland is classified as a separate locality within the settlement of Greater Glasgow, within the East Renfrewshire council area; however, for most other purposes it is considered to be a part of the town of Clarkston.[3][4] The most recent estimate, from mid-2012, gives a population of 3,610.[5]
