Glenlair House

Glenlair , near the village of Corsock in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire , in Dumfries and Galloway , was the home of the physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831?1879). The original structure was designed for Maxwell's father by Walter Newall ; Maxwell himself oversaw the construction of an extension in the late 1860s, and further improvements were made by his heir, Andrew Wedderburn-Maxwell. ^[1] A fire in 1929 left the house gutted, but a project to preserve and stabilise the remains has been undertaken by the Maxwell at Glenlair Trust. ^[2]^[3]
