PEOPLE can discover more about the history of Glasgow’s southside with a National Trust for Scotland (NTS) exhibition this month. 

The display, organised by East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure, shows the life and legacy of founding NTS member Sir John Stirling Maxwell and is being exhibited in Giffnock for May.

The end of the display will be marked with an accompanying talk by Lucy Donnell from the NTS on Pollok House at Giffnock Library on Thursday, May 30, from 3pm to 4pm.

Pollok House was once home to the Maxwell family, who lived on the site from the 13th century. The Maxwell family donated the house and estate to Glasgow in 1966, and today it is looked after by the NTS.

The exhibition is on display at Eastwood Park Theatre until Thursday, May 23, and will move to Giffnock Library from Saturday, May 25, to Saturday, June 1.

The NTS talk is free but booking is essential.

Tickets are available from Giffnock Library or from Eastwood Park Theatre box office on 0141 577 4956 or online HERE.
