Would you like to join us on a day out to the Burrell Collection and Pollok Country Park on Wednesday 26^th August?

As their website says:

‘This magnificent collection in its purpose-built home surrounded by beautiful parkland, is ranked amongst the most significant civic museum collections in the UK, comparable to the National Gallery and the V&A in London.’

There will be much to interest us.

It stands in the beautiful surroundings of Pollok Country Park with opportunities for a walk to see the Highland cows or a visit to the gardens of Pollok House. (Please note Pollok House itself is no longer open.) I attach a map. Entrance to the collection is free.

For those who would find it useful, wheelchairs are available to borrow.

Full details of the Burrell Collection are on their website:

There is a coffee shop and a restaurant in the main building.
