The Secret Greek Villa in Glasgow: Holmwood House

#glasgowtrips #glasgow #architecture #hiddenplaces #history #uk Built by Alexander Thomson in 1857, Holmwood House feels both ancient and oddly alive. Doorframes taper like temple gates; false doors mirror real ones, a playful trick of symmetry. Outside, box hedges trim paths to the White Cart Water, where river whispers blend with distant city hum. No velvet ropes here. Walk rooms stripped back to their bones—paint peeled, patterns raw—and see a mind unafraid to clash Glasgow grit with Grecian grace. 📍 Address: 61 Netherlee Road, Cathcart, Glasgow, G44 3YU 🕒 Open: Thu–Sun, 10 AM–5 PM 🎟️ Entry: £8.50
