Capelrig House is a Category A listed building, listed back in 1971. Located in Newton Mearns, the building constructed with ‘tooled ashlar with rusticated quoins and dressed margins’ in 1769 for a Glasgow lawyer.
Historic maps identify several estates and enlarged farm buildings in the area of which only remnants of these estates and boundaries now exist. Making Capelrig house a significant piece of architecture in the historic development of this part of Glasgow. The initial fabric condition survey supported the re-imagining of the building and is now on site and includes significant stone repairs, roof works and redecoration, all careful restoration as part of a wider development plan.
