Holmwood House
Holmwood, located in the Southside of Glasgow, was masterfully designed by Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson for James Couper, a paper magnate, and his wife in 1857–8. This architectural gem is widely recognised as Thomson’s most exceptional domestic creation, showcasing his incredible design legacy. This hidden South-side gem is all about art, architecture and design- creating the most perfect place for your Instagram feed! Restored by the National Trust for Scotland to Thomson’s original interior design schemes this is your one chance to visit the inside of one of his domestic buildings. Inside the house., there are tours, an imagination gallery, a cafe and a shop. Outside the grounds connect the house to the river Cart. All profits from our shop and cafe remain towards the conservation of Holmwood and the valuable work of the National Trust for Scotland. We would love it if you could visit and join one of our tours, where we will show you all the tricks that Thomson used and how to spot his designs all over the city as well as give you more insight on how the NTS recover his designs for generations to come.

ORGANISATION
Organised by: National Trust for Scotland
The National Trust for Scotland an independent not-for-profit charity that protects and shares some of our country’s most precious historic places and natural landscapes on behalf of the people of Scotland. Together, the places and objects in our care tell the stories of Scotland and the Scots: how our people travelled and interacted with the wider world, taking with them their energy and values and returning with new ideas and treasures. Since 1931, we’ve pioneered public access to and shared ownership of some of the most magnificent buildings, collections and habitats in Scotland. We care for ancient houses, battlefields, castles, mills, gardens, coastlines, islands, mountain ranges and all the communities, plants and animals which depend upon them.
