521–523 Clarkston Road · Since 1955
An independent pharmacy, on Clarkston Road.
Muirend Pharmacy has been on Clarkston Road since 1955 — independently owned, clinically led, and still in the same building. We have three independent prescribers, Scotland's only Pharmaself24 on Clarkston Road, and a team that knows most of its patients by name.

Seven decades on Clarkston Road
Muirend Pharmacy opened on Clarkston Road in 1955. It was here when the trams ran, here through computerised dispensing, and here through the full transition to clinical pharmacy.
Seven decades later, it's still independent. Still in the same building. Still run by people who live and work in the area.

What independence means to us
Independent pharmacies make their own decisions. There's no head office, no corporate service list, no prescribed margin targets.
- — We decide who joins the team — people, not headcount.
- — We decide which services to offer — based on what the community needs, not what a franchisor requires.
- — We decide how to invest — in training, equipment, and clinical capability, not shareholder returns.
- — Profits stay local — they fund better services in Muirend, not dividends elsewhere.
That's not a values statement. It's just how independent pharmacy works.
