Blythswood House, Country house in Renfrew, Scotland.

The neoclassical mansion featured 100 rooms and stood prominently near the River Clyde, reflecting the architectural grandeur of Scottish estates.

James Gillespie Graham designed this residence in 1821 for Archibald Campbell, who served as Member of Parliament for the Glasgow District of Burghs.

The estate belonged to the Douglas-Campbell family, whose influence extended through their ownership of the Lands of Blythswood in Glasgow.

The property remained the residence of Lords Blythswood until 1935, when it underwent demolition, marking the end of its physical presence.

Between 1892 and 1905, the house contained a laboratory where research on cathode rays, X-rays, spectroscopy, and radioactivity took place.
