The former site of Glen House
This location is within Glen Park, which is just one part of the much larger Gleniffer Braes Country Park.
Glen House stood on the level area in the foreground. The building's near side was more or less on top of what is now the path. The embankment in the background was present at that time, and is on the uphill side of the house (the south). The building did not extend all the way to it; a clear level space was left around the rear and sides of the building. For a view of the same area from a different angle, see NS4760 : The former site of Glen House.
The former kitchen garden of Glen House survives, a little way down the (unseen) slope to the right of the path: NS4760 : Former kitchen garden of Glen House.
The same section of the path is shown in NS4760 : Glen Park. In that view, the level area where the house stood is on the right, and the slope leading down to the kitchen garden is on the left.

The former site of Glen House
The house, in what is now the Glen Park, is marked as "the Glen" on the 1913 OS map. When the 1940 map revision was prepared, the building had already been cleared away. The house was on a slope; the results of creating a level space for it can still be seen as a landscaped embankment on the uphill side (the south), two shorter ones to the east and west, and some lower terraces on the downhill side (the north).
