Pollok Country Park & Pollok House
Pollok Country Park
An urban woodland once named Europe's best park, with Highland cattle and an 18th-century Georgian-style mansion.
The park covers about 146 hectares. Its forest trails, riverside gardens and free-roaming Highland cattle are the most popular attractions, and the Burrell Collection is also located within the park. Pollok House, built in 1752 and managed by the National Trust for Scotland, holds Spanish paintings by El Greco, Goya and others. Visitors can also see the servants' kitchen, though entry to the house requires a ticket. The park is free and open all day, and it can be reached on foot from Pollokshaws West station.
Opening hours
Park open all day; estate approx. 10:00–17:00
