Millbrae Crescent is a street located in Glasgow providing numerous examples of category A listed buildings thought to be designed by Alexander "Greek" Thomson, or posthumously by his architectural partner, Robert Turnbull.{{cite web|url=http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=202340|title=Robert Turnbull|accessdate=2008-10-04|work=Dictionary of Scottish Architects}}{{Historic Environment Scotland|num=LB32384|desc=2, 2A-38 (EVEN NOS) MILLBRAE CRESCENT|cat=A|access-date=19 March 2019}} The street comprises an elegant row of two-storey terraced houses built using blonde sandstone and exemplifying Thomson's typical use of Egyptian-derived columns and ornamentation.{{cite web|url=http://www.theglasgowstory.com/image.php?inum=TGSA00924|title=Millbrae Crescent|accessdate=2008-10-04|work=TheGlasgowStory}} Millbrae Crescent is located on the River Cart in Langside, Glasgow,{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/glasgowandwestscotland/content/articles/2008/10/12/whitecartway_feature.shtml|title=Walking the White Cart Way|author=BBC|accessdate=2008-10-04}} and within close proximity of Thomson's noted residential Victorian villa, Holmwood House.
