Pollok Castle has a long and fascinating history, and adds to the grandeur of this beautiful home. Pollok (also known as Pollock) is one of the oldest family names recorded in Scotland, derived from the ancient lands of Pollock in Renfrewshire. Originally, Pollok Castle was a tower house castle built by the Pollok family circa 12th Century. The castle was rebuilt between 1686 and 1694 by Sir Robert Pollok. It was destroyed by fire in 1880 and rebuilt in 1886 incorporating the surviving elements of the earlier structure. It was requisitioned by the British Army in 1939 during World War II except for one wing occupied by the Pollok family. In 1944, the castle was abandoned and deteriorated and later demolished in 1952. The remains of the castle and the land were privately acquired in 1998 and the property was custom built and finished in 2003 for the current owner.

The south entrance steps and walls and a few stones that once formed the castle's ornate entrance have now become the side entrance to the old property. The original castle moat, now barely recognisable, marks the boundary of the property site. Two gatehouses, the stable, and the gardener's cottage which made up the original Estate still remain, privately owned.

Pollok Castle is a magnificent family home situated within the privacy of 9.5 acres of private parkland that makes up Pollok Castle Estate. The property is set behind imposing electric gates and resides at the end of a 0.25 mile private entrance road. Throughout the property, CCTV and integral media systems have been installed offering heightened levels of privacy and exclusivity.
