Pollok House was the start of it all in 1931. The National Trust for Scotland was formed during conversations in Pollok's cedar-panelled smoking room. The mansion is now, without a doubt, one of the most magnificent in our care.
This exquisite stately property is located on the outskirts of Glasgow, amid the lovely Pollok Country Park. The Maxwell family lived on the site for six centuries, but the major part of the current mansion was erected in the mid-18th century—an example of Georgian magnificence worthy of a Jane Austen novel.
The home was expanded in the early twentieth century, but the 18th-century features were kept in tact.
Pollok's crowning achievement is its art collection. Portraits of Spain's Habsburg kings hang alongside dramatic religious images in Sir William Stirling Maxwell's collection of Spanish art. The size of the tiled walkway downstairs reveals the magnitude of the labour required to manage this wonderful mansion. Info source.
