Glenlair



         


GLENLAIR HOUSE, near CORSOCK in Dumfries & Galloway, is famous as the home of the eminent scientist, Professor James Clerk Maxwell. Born in Edinburgh in 1831, Professor Clerk Maxwell moved with his father John to Glenlair soon afterwards and lived there until his death on November 5, 1879. The house was largely destroyed by fire in 1929, although the oldest part designed by Walter NEWALL was completely renovated in 1993 by the present owner Captain Duncan FERGUSON.
