Hutton Castle

[1] Originally a property of the Homes of Wedderburn, Hutton was probably built in the 16th century, but may include much older fabric.

[3] Hutton was purchased in 1916 by Sir William Burrell, wealthy Glaswegian shipping merchant and art collector.

Burrell commissioned Robert Lorimer to prepare designs for the restoration and expansion of the building, but the two men failed to agree on proposals.

[1] Burrell and his wife Constance gifted their collection to the city of Glasgow in 1944, stipulating that, among other things, several of the rooms at Hutton Castle should be recreated for the display of the artefacts.

In 1983, when the present Burrell Collection building was completed in Glasgow's Pollok Park, replicas of the dining room, the drawing room and the hall of the castle were installed, based on the photographs & detail surveys carried out by Draughting Associates some 10 years or so earlier.
