Ross Hall was a small mansion house on the south side of the city .
It was built by James Cowan JP in 1877,in 1890 he commissioned James Pulham and Son who were famous landscape gardeners to remodel the garden, when finished it was considered to be one of the finest in Scotland.
In 1908 the estate was sold to Sir Fredrick Lobnitz,a wealthy shipyard owner, by 1948 the estate was sold to Glasgow Corporation eventually the building was converted to a hospital with many modern additions.
Ross Hall Park is open to the public but little remains of the original garden, in spite of this its still a pleasant walk.
