The Ten Best Scottish Fine Art Collections by Ian Sclater

"Set in tranquil parkland, Pollok House is presented today as it would have looked around 1930. Along with period furnishings, silverware and ceramics, there is a fine art collection, including major pieces by the English artist and poet William Blake and one of the finest collections anywhere of Spanish art, including works by El Greco, Goya and Murillo."
