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.

It's beginning to look a lot like springtime! Going daft for the daffs shared by Jill Ferguson

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.

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). 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.
