The thirty-six houses which once made up the village were cleared sometime after the bridge was built, possibly to improve the view from Pollok House or possibly to make way for a new road, and its inhabitants were moved to nearby Pollokshaws.

While no trace of Pollok Toon remains, it's still remembered to this day for its witch trial of 1677, which saw six people sentenced to death for witchcraft.
