Pollok Country Park

Pollok Country Park

Pollok Country Park is a large country park located in the south of Glasgow.

In 2007 it was named the best park in Britain.

The park was originally part of the former Pollok Estate - the home of the Maxwell family for over 700 years.

 In 1966, Mrs Anne Maxwell Macdonald gifted the estate, including Pollok House, to Glasgow City Council

with the condition that it remained a public park.

 

Pollok House

Pollok House

The house was designed by William Adam and built in 1752.

It  is considered to be one of the most elegant family homes in Glasgow. 

It was gifted to the City of Glasgow in 1966 by Mrs Anne Maxwell Macdonald,

the Maxwell family having owned the estate for almost 700 years.

It is now managed by the National Trust for Scotland and is open to the public.
