Exploring Pollok House and its Spanish Art

Pollok House is an elegant country house located in Pollok Country Park on the south side of Glasgow. It was built in the 18th century and designed in the Edwardian Baroque style, with elaborate carved stonework on its façade. The house remains home to the Maxwell family, descendants of the original wealthy merchants and traders who built it in the 1700s. It houses an extensive collection of Spanish art, including paintings by El Greco, Goya, and Murillo, which William Stirling Maxwell brought back after serving as a UK diplomat in Spain. #wintertrip #mytravelhacks #Scotland #Glasgow
