Pollok House is the ancestral home of the Maxwell family. The present house dates from around 1752 and contains one of the finest collections of Spanish art in the United Kingdom together with furniture and furnishings appropriate to an Edwardian country house.

It is remarkable that a country house like Pollok House has survived, as it is within 15 minutes drive of central Glasgow. The tranquillity of its surroundings allows visitors to enjoy the beauty and benefits of the countryside without travelling outside the city. The National Trust for Scotlands aim is to present the House as a living house and home. The House is presented broadly as it would have been around 1930 when all the major changes had been made to the property. The Maxwell family lived in the house until 1966 when it was gifted to the City of Glasgow by Mrs Anne Maxwell Macdonald. Originally opened as a City Museum, it was passed to the Trust in 1998, who now manage the property on behalf of Glasgow City Council. Since the Trust became involved, the House and contents have been redisplayed to create a more lived-in feel. The Servants Quarters of the House now boast a wonderful Gift Shop and Food Shop along with an award winning Edwardian Kitchen Restaurant which has an extensive menu to cater for all tastes and dietary requirements.
