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.

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 which is probably now most widely remembered for its witch trial of 1677.

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

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