Glorat House

Glorat House is a large mansion in East Dunbartonshire that brings together architectural features from different building periods. The residence displays preserved stonework from the 17th century alongside a tower added in the 19th century, with both elements visible in its current structure.

The original tower house built in 1510 was replaced during the 17th century, with a lintel dated 1625 bearing the initials MS for Mungo Stirling. Later in the 19th century, the house underwent significant reconstruction and received its distinctive Scots Baronial character.

The Stirling family of Glorat, who received their baronetcy in 1680, maintained this residence as their family seat through generations.

The mansion sits within gardens laid out during the first half of the 19th century, covering approximately 60 hectares. Visitors will find plenty of room to walk and explore the surrounding grounds at their own pace.

The 1869 reconstruction transformed the building into the Scots Baronial style while retaining elements from its earlier 17th-century structure.
