21. Homage to Shipbuilding (2005)

The sculpture designed by Jimmy Cosgrove and constructed by Hector McGarva was installed in October 2005. It was made from cast iron and corten steel showing the silhouette of a shipyard worker and his dog. On the adjacent table lie the different tools he would have used. The piece has an inscription “celebrate those who made the Clyde great”.

22. Glasshouse, Garden for a Plant Collector (2007)

Located behind the west wall of the Walled Garden this striking design by Grossmax of a minimal glasshouse utilises fibre optics to provide drama and ultra violet lighting to encourage the growths of fluorescent and carnivorous plants. At dusk the glasshouse and theplants within provide an ethereal display

23. Bandstand / Glasgow Ski and Snowboard Centre

The original circular bandstand was replaced around 1933 by the current structure which now serves the Glasgow Ski and Snowboard Centre. Originally used for hosting concerts, the former amphitheatre now forms the structure for the four dry slopes. A modern extension onto the building was completed in 1998 but the original structure is still the main focal point.

24. Sunken Garden

The sunken garden is the basement of the original Dumbreck House which is noted on Richardson’s map 1795. It was Moses Steven in 1850 that changed the name of Dumbreck House to Bellahouston House. The house was finely placed on an eminence which had extensive views in all directions. The original entrance tunnel to the lower quarters of the house is still in use today leading visitors into the formally laid out garden which was refurbished in 2005.
