Notice Title

Notice Description

Glasgow City Council is currently refurbishing Pollok Stables and Sawmill, which is situated in the grounds of Pollok Country Park.

The Council is committed to reintroducing Clydesdale Horses as part of the refurbishment project, which will deliver a "living heritage centre" intended for a local, city wide national and international audience.
