From the Wikipedia article
Neilston Pad, referred to locally as The Pad, is a distinctive hill in East Renfrewshire, situated a mile (1.5 km) south of the village of Neilston. Its highest point is 261 metres (856 ft) and is characterised by a relatively flat summit plateau surrounded by steep slopes and distinctive forestry on its eastern side. Its odd shape and prominence make it easily identifiable and visible from many areas in Glasgow. The area was managed by Elderslie Estates from the 1990s until it was sold to a private buyer or consortium in 2021.
