Holmwood House
Wonderful stylish off-beat villa, built in 1858 by the influential Alexander 'Greek' Thomson. It was originally the home of a paper magnate, and a copy was built for another tycoon in Adelaide in 1885. Holmwood had several owners then the Sisters of Our Lady of The Missions, who piously obliterated all style and decor beneath the dullest paint they could find. They left in the 1990s and it was acquired by the National Trust for Scotland, who have been restoring it ever since.

Queen's Park F.C.
The Spiders
Queen's Park play in the Championship, the second tier. Despite an incredible run without a major trophy since 1893, they are still amongst Scotland's most successful clubs with ten Scottish Cups to their name. Historically they played at Hampden Park and owned it, but their limited fortunes and attendance made that a nonsense; only in 2019 did they turn professional. Hampden Park was sold to the Scottish Football Association in 2020 and from 2025-26, Queen's Park will play at The City Stadium (aka Lesser Hampden), a small stadium to the west of Hampden Park. Don't confuse them with Queen's Park Rangers, the team from London's Shepherd's Bush.
