Description In 1786 Wilson refers to Glinsk as the "seat of the late Sir John Burke" and also as the seat of Sir Rickby Burke. Glinsk Castle and a substanial house are both marked on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map. The castle is shown on the 25-inch map of the 1890s but there is no trace of the house. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Allen Pollok held buildings valued at £1 15 at the site, recorded as a herd's house.
