Pollok Country Park is an ideal choice for a relaxing day trip when you are
staying in Glasgow, and benefits from being only a short distance away with
good public transport links. In addition to the beautiful gardens, golf course,
walking and mountain biking trails, the grounds also house two wonderful art
collections, Pollok House and the Burrell Collection.
Pollok House was given to the City of Glasgow in 1966 by Mrs. Anne Maxwell Macdonald, and the house and its collection of paintings, porcelain and furnishings is maintained by Scotland's National Trust. There is a restaurant serving morning coffee, lunches, afternoon tea and home baking, and also has a gift shop.
The Burrell Collection is a spectacular collection of over 9,000 pieces, donated to the City of Glasgow by wealthy industrialise Sir William Burrell in 1944.
