Househill, an estate, with a modern mansion and a village, in the E of Abbey parish, Renfrewshire, on the right bank of Levern Water, 2½ miles NE of Barrhead. It contains an iron-work, a brick-work, coal mines, and an extensive quarry; and was sold in 1871 for £40, 000. The village, called Househill Muir, has Hurlet for its post-town, under Glasgow.—Ord. Sur., sh. 30, 1866.
