Blythswood House was a 100-room neoclassical mansion at Renfrew, Scotland, built for the Douglas-Campbell family from the considerable incomes arising from their ownership of the Lands of Blythswood in Glasgow, including Blythswood Hill, developed initially by William Harley of Blythswood Square, and earlier lands surrounding Renfrew and Inchinnan. The house remained the seat of the Lords Blythswood until its demolition in 1935. Five years later the family title became extinct. The house was demolished in 1935.

  • Blythswood House war ein klassizistischer Herrensitz in Renfrewshire. Er wurde 1821 nach Plänen des schottischen Architekten James Gillespie Graham als Familiensitz der Barone Blythswood erbaut. Das Gebäude lag am rechten Ufer des Flusses Cart in der Nähe der Mündung des Cart in den Fluss Clyde. Bauherr war der Parlamentsabgeordnete Archibald Campbell of Blythswood. Er ließ das neue Anwesen direkt neben dem alten Familiensitz der Blythswoods errichten, der sich seit 1654 im Besitz der Familie befunden hatte. Zum Blythswood House gehörten im 19. Jahrhundert weitläufige Ländereien, die heute fast vollständig mit den westlichen Vorstädten von Glasgow überbaut sind. Die Ausdehnung des Großraums Glasgow war 1935 auch der Grund für den Abriss des Gebäudes. An der Stelle, an der das Blythswood Ho (de)

  • Blythswood House was a 100-room neoclassical mansion at Renfrew, Scotland, built for the Douglas-Campbell family from the considerable incomes arising from their ownership of the Lands of Blythswood in Glasgow, including Blythswood Hill, developed initially by William Harley of Blythswood Square, and earlier lands surrounding Renfrew and Inchinnan. It was designed in 1821, by the architect James Gillespie Graham for Archibald Campbell, the Member of Parliament for the Glasgow District of Burghs. On his death in 1838 it passed to his second cousin Archibald Douglas Campbell (died 1868) of the lineage of Douglas of Mains, who adopted the name of Campbell, a pre-requisite of Blythswood ownerships. The house also contained a well-known laboratory that was used by Archibald Campbell, 1st Baron Blythswood from 1892 to 1905 to experiment into many areas at the borders of physics, including the use of cathode rays, X-rays, spectroscopy and radioactivity. The house remained the seat of the Lords Blythswood until its demolition in 1935. Five years later the family title became extinct. The house was demolished in 1935. (en)
