History:

James Dunlop ( 1742-1816 ),

the eldest son of Colin Dunlop of Carmyle,

acquired the Tollcross estate c 1810.
It passed to his son Colin ( 1775-1837 )
and then to Colin's nephew James, 
who built the mansion ( designed by David Bryce )
on the site of an older house. 
The estate was purchased by Glasgow Corporation in 1896 
and Tollcross Park was opened there the following year. 
The house became a children's museum
and then fell into disrepair.

In the 1980's the museum closed
and the building was restored
by the National Trust for Scotland

 and converted into self-contained accomodation.

Shettleston Housing Association
then acquired the mansion house

 and contracted with the then
Church of Scotland Board of Social Responsibility

 to provide a registered care home service for older people.

This service was de-registered in March 2003
and the current 24-hour supported living service commenced.
