The 18th Century Pollok House in Glasgow. Donated to the city in 1966, it's currently closed for renovations and is largely hidden by scaffolding. This photo was taken just before it closed in 2023, but it will reopen again once the work has been completed.

The entrance hall to Pollok House on the Southside of Glasgow. Pollok House was built in 1752, but this entrance hall was added by R. Rowand Anderson in 1890. This photograph was taken in 2024, before the house was closed for renovations.

I love the expression on this face on one of the early 1900s Garden Pavilions at Pollok House in Glasgow.

The decorative mini-maze at the 18th Century Pollok House on the Southside of Glasgow. It's currently closed for some fairly major refurbishments, but the surrounding park is still well worth visiting.

The 1750s bridge over the White Cart at Pollok Country House in Glasgow. I might well be wrong, but I think this makes it the oldest surviving bridge in the city.

However, I've yet to find any trace of a lade on any of the old maps I've looked at.

I suspect this once crossed a lade (a small manmade channel used to provide a costant flow of water to a water wheel) which ran between a weir by a water-powered sawmill just upstream and a second weir a bit further downstream.

This 19th century stone bridge in front of Pollok House in Glasgow has a unusual feature: a second miniature arch well away from the main river (spaniel included for scale).

This is a process that's been repeated hundreds, if not thousands, of times across Scotland in the last three hundred or so years.

A stone bridge over the White Cart at Pollok House on the Southside of Glasgow. Built in the 1750s, this bridge once connected the grand Georgian mansion to Pollok Toon, a small village on the southern side of the river.

Love the gates at the original entrance to the Pollok Estate (now Pollok Country Park) in Glasgow, especially the lions.

Looking down what was once one of the main approaches to Pollok House in Glasgow. Originally built in 1752, it was later extended to create the house we see today.
