  • History
    Glaisnock Mansion House, built around 1833, 1 mile south of Cumnock, was designed by James Ingram of Kilmarnock
    The estate was broken up around 1949 with the mansion being bought by the County Council. The Council opened Glaisnock in 1952 as a junior secondary school. The school specializing in rural education, took in boarders as well as day pupils. Glaisnock was operated as a four year school from 1968 until its closure in June 1973.
    In 2005, a £6 million refurbishment plan got underway to transform Glaisnock House into a European Centre for Creativity.
    Glaisnock House’s owner from China passed away in 2015. The plans to convert it into a heritage centre have never been realised.

    I spent 5 days in Glaisnock house in 1977.. I was 12 years old and this was my final primary school trip. I have great memories of my school mates and of our experience there . Glaisnock was an absolutely magnificent building , a really special house that had an atmosphere and a presence that few buildings can match..To see it like this is truly shocking . I truly hope that one day it will be restored to it's former magnificence

    Sad to see this. I'm 44 , went here with the school for a week when in primary 7.
    Great memorys. Days out adventuring ayrshire. Guy called hendry was our guide. Took us to wanlockhead mining village and into the hills in the snow , found some fools gold. Great intro to the outdoors of scotland for a kid.
    The dormitory I was in was middle right when facing the building , can remember looking out the window.
    Truly saddened. I'll never forget the place. Thanks for video

      Thanks for your lovely memory Howard. It sounds like you had lots of fun doing different activities. It's such a shame this facility was closed for these school trips ☹️

    Sad that old mansions like this are allowed to end up this way. They don’t build them like this now. Save it before it’s too late

      Hi Jade thanks for your comment. You are party right. I put the full history in the description. It was originally built as a mansion in 1833 but it didn't become a school until 1952 when the council took it over. Either way its still a fascinating building 😊
