Tickets for Glasgow's Doors Open Days Festival 2026 - Discover Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's finest domestic creation!

Holmwood is a family home like no other in Glasgow. Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson designed the house for paper magnate James Couper and his wife in 1857–8. Holmwood House is widely regarded as this Scottish architect’s finest domestic creation. The National Trust for Scotland has now finished its renovation project to restore Thomson's interiors as he designed them in the 1850s. It is now the only Thomson building open to the public with original interiors intact.

Join us for guided tours and discover more about Holmwood, Thomson, and the restoration project.
