Pollok Country Park, Country park in Glasgow, Scotland
The 146-hectare green expanse features the White Cart Water flowing through woodland areas, formal gardens, and open meadows in south Glasgow.
The Maxwell family owned this land for over 700 years until Mrs. Anne Maxwell Macdonald transferred it to Glasgow Corporation in 1966.
The park contains the Burrell Collection, housing international art and antiquities donated by shipping magnate William Burrell to Glasgow.
Visitors can access the park via Pollokshaws West railway station, with multiple entrances connecting to cycling routes and walking paths.
A resident fold of Highland cattle grazes in the park grounds, maintaining traditional Scottish agricultural practices within city limits.
