Old Photograph Pollok House Glasgow Scotland
Old photograph of Pollok House located in Pollok Country Park, Glasgow, Scotland. This is the ancestral home of the Maxwell family. The Palladian house, built in 1752 and designed by William Adam, was gifted to the City of Glasgow in 1966 by Dame Anne Maxwell Macdonald, whose family ancestry had owned the estate for almost 700 years. It is now managed by the National Trust for Scotland and is open to the public. Displayed within the Pollok House is a large, private collection of Spanish paintings, including works by El Greco, Francisco Goya and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. There are also paintings by William Blake, as well as glass, silverware, porcelain and antique furniture. The house also features servants' quarters downstairs. The house also has an extensive garden, boasting a collection of over 1,000 species of rhododendrons.
