Pollok House is an elegant country house situated in the tranquil surroundings of Pollok Country Park. It was built by the Maxwell family in the mid-eighteenth century and expanded by Sir John Stirling Maxwell between 1888 and 1901.

Its well-proportioned rooms are decorated with eighteenth century plasterwork, fine furniture and, not least, the Stirling Maxwell art collection. The latter includes works by El Greco, Goya and William Blake. Our friendly and knowledgeable tour guides will help you get the most out of your visit.
