Attraction in Glasgow
The Maxwell family is known to have been established at Pollok from the mid-13th century . The present house (c 1740) replaced three earlier castles, and was extended in 1890 by Sir John Stirling Maxwell, a founder member of The National Trust for Scotland. It is set within Pollok Country Park, also the home of the Burrell Collection. The Edwardian Kitchen Restaurant is a popular venue, renowned for its home baking. The elegant shop is in the Housekeeper's Room.
