SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1888. 



BLYTHSWOOD. 



rpHE visit of the Queen to Glasgow and 

 -*- neighbourhood last week has rendered the 

 tine residence of Sir Archibald Campbell famous 

 as one of the few private homes of Scotland 

 which Her Majesty has been pleased to make her 

 temporary residence. 



It is a rural place lying on the southern 

 bank of the Clyde, curiously surrounded on 

 its north-west and east boundaries with 

 evidences of the commercial and manufac- 

 turing activity for which this upper reach 

 of the Clyde is famed. A good deal of this is 

 seen from various points of the estate. Here 

 a shipbuilding-yard, there a manufactory con- 

 nected with that industry, and though little of the 

 river itself is seen from any part of the grounds, 

 owing to the abundant furnishing of trees which 

 intercept the view, the gliding of the tall masts 

 seen over the tree-tops affords indication of the 

 commercial activity beyond. It is a somewhat 

 singular sensation to one bent on horticultural 

 quest only to find himself interrupted in the 

 admiration of a fine park tree by the towering spars 

 of a ship, no portion of which he sees except the 

 topmasts moving gracefully between his object 

 and the sky-line ; speculations other than the age 

 and proportions of arboreal subjects seize the 

 mind, but I cannot follow them further at present 

 than to say they must be frequently indulged in 

 at Blythswood if I may judge by the experience I 

 had during my brief visit the other day. 



Renfrew, which is the station for Blythswood, 

 is about miles from St. Enoch's Station, 

 Glasgow, and the visitor, if he inquires the way 

 of the railway officials on arriving there, will be 

 directed to a private entrance from the platform 

 to the grounds. The woods of Blythswood in 

 this direction, in fact, reach their limit, and give 

 a fine rural effect to Renfrew Station. The 

 estate is extensive, and contains fine specimens 

 of Ash, Beech, Spanish Chestnut, Sycamore, and 

 Oak, the latter comparatively young, and remark- 

 able for great length and cleanness of bole. The 

 grounds are too level to be called picturesque, 

 but the grouping of the trees and shrubs has
