The Maxwell family has lived at Pollok House since the mid-13th century. Three earlier castles were replaced by the present house (c1740) after consultation with William Adam. The house was extended in 1890 by Sir John Stirling Maxwell, and now contains an internationally famed collection of paintings as well as porcelain and furnishings appropriate to a country house of the Edwardian period. It is set within Pollok Country Park, also home of The Burrell Collection.
