If you want to see what rich Scotland homes/castles must have been like on the inside - then see the few rooms that have been re-created at the Burell Collection. Wonderful. more

hi there as a glaswegian I can whole heartedly recommend not just the burrel but also the pollock estate which it resides within. 10square miles of countrypark which to the glaswegian is like being in the country i.e unless you are prepared for 40 minute bus/train rides you will not get the fresh air and scenery. anywhere else within city... more

Rainy day in Glasgow, what a great find! Caught the train here from Glasgow Central alighting at Pollokshaws West (£1-80 return) and walked through the park with deer and cattle for company. Museum is free, as are most in Glasgow and browsed for an hour or so. The exhibits were not really my cup of tea but the building is... more

The Burrell Collection is housed inside acres of parkland donated by the Pollok family. While the collection itself is impressive and worth a few hours browse, don't miss the grounds of pollok house as well. It's a lovely walk through paved trails, viewing gardens, fields, trees and a slow-moving creek. worth an hour or so of your time to walk... more

Never mind the contents, at least until later - look at the building. Situated on the edge of open parkland with a prize herd of highlwand cattle browing nearby the building to house the Burrell Collection is a masterpiece of design. Totally modern,it encompanses great open airy spaces and intimate areas of seclusion where the eclectic Burrell Collection can be... more
