Designed in the Scottish Renaissance style by the renowned Scottish architect, Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, Pollokshaws Burgh Hall was built between 1895 and 1898. The Hall was commissioned, paid for and gifted to the local community by Sir John Stirling Maxwell. It was built on a site within the Pollok Estate, which had been owned for more than 700 years by the Maxwell family. The Burgh Hall is now owned by Glasgow City Council and leased to Pollokshaws Burgh Hall Trust which manages the building. The Burgh Hall is a popular event venue hosting weddings, mehndi’s, concerts, clubs and societies.
