The White Cart Water crosses the city boundary at Netherlee and flows through Glasgow's southeastern suburbs before its meanderings through Pollok
Country Park. This part of the river's course is illustrated in other pages of this website.
The Levern Water and Brock Burn join together close to Silverburn Shopping Centre to form an enlarged Levern Water, which joins the White Cart west of Crookston Castle.
The recharged White Cart then leaves the city, downstream from Leverndale Hospital, heading for Paisley and then on to the River Clyde.
