Glenlair Totally Explained

Everything about Glenlair totally explained

Glenlair House, near the village of Corsock in the Scottish Council area of Dumfries and Galloway, most famous for having been the home of 19th century physicist James Clerk Maxwell. Born in Edinburgh in 1831, Clerk Maxwell moved with his father John to Glenlair soon afterwards and lived there off and on until his death on November 5, 1879. The house was largely destroyed by fire in 1929, although the oldest part, designed by Walter NEewall, was completely renovated in 1993 by the present owner, Captain Duncan Ferguson, for use by his mother. Glenlair is the Home Farm of the original estate of Middlebie and is now a 120 acre (52 ha) farm of which 80 acres is under grassland, the remaining 40 or so acres in amenity and semi-natural woodland, which provides shelter from almost all directions. Two water courses, the larger River Urr and its tributary the Glenlair Burn, occur on the farm, forming valuable wildlife corridors. The River Urr in particular is a valuable trout and salmon stream.
