Window to the Past: Pollok Castle
Delving back, way back, into history we take a look this week at Pollok castle.
Specifically, this is one of the outer gates.
The castle was developed from an 11th century tower a large, stately house in 1686 — built by Sir Robert Pollok.
The house was gutted by a fire in 1882 and rebuilt in a Scottish Baronial style.
