Old Photograph Mansion House Rouken Glen Scotland
Old photograph of a horse and carriage and people outside the mansion house in Rouken Glen park in Giffnock, East Renfrewshire, to the South Weest of Glasgow, Scotland. The lands of Rouken Glen Park originally belonged to the Scottish Crown, and then to the Earl of Eglinton, presented to Hugh Montgomerie, 1st Earl of Eglinton on the marriage of his son in the year 1530 by king James V. Amongst the park's owners have been Walter Crum of Thornliebank and Archibald Cameron Corbett, M.P. for Tradeston, Glasgow, later Lord Rowallan, who gifted the estate and mansion house to the citizens of Glasgow. The park features in an episode of Scottish comedy series Rab C. Nesbitt, when Rab gets a job sweeping leaves by the pond. A scene from the film Trainspotting was also filmed in Rouken Glen, and the pondside cafeteria, Boaters, was featured in an episode of the BBC Scotland drama series Sea of Souls.
