The castellated and domestic architecture of Scotland, from the twelfth to the eighteenth century . KBliiiipiiiiJif KiG mo. - House. View fiom Soutli-East. FOURTH PERIOD — 10 — STOBCROSS HOUSK Stobcross Docks now are. It was an unpretending structure, which wellillustrated the latest development of the native architecture of Scotland,as yet uninfluenced to any appreciable extent by the details of theRenaissance. The house (Fig. 1110) was built on the E Plan, having a main blockabout 62 feet long, with a front facing the river to the south, and twowings, one at the east and the other at the west end, extending backwards. Fig. 1111.—Stobcross House. View from North-East. 44 feet and 38 feet respectively (see Block Plan, Fig. 1111). In there-entering angles were the staircase turrets, one of which is seen in theView (Fig. 1111). Extending in continuation of the wings northwardswere walls of hewn stone enclosing a courtyard, with the entrance gate-way on the east side, from which an avenue of old trees led to the GuslietHouse, in the village of Anderston, about half a mile distant. Thisdistrict has all long since been absorbed into Glasgow. In 1611 the lands of Stobcross belonged to a family of the name ofAnderson, and in 1735 they wei-e sold to Mr. John Ori^, a Glasgow mer-chant, who, it is believed, made some additions to the house. We havenot learnt when it was erected, but it was doubtless towards the end ofthe seventeenth century. GLASGOW 11 FOURTH PERIOD PAISLEY. THE PLACE.*
