The Maxwell at Glenlair Trust
Registered Scottish Charity
No. SC030868
A Charitable Trust has been established to conserve and preserve for the benefit of the public Glenlair House, the family home of James Clerk Maxwell. The aim of the Trust is to put in hand works so as to stabilise the building known as Glenlair House, thereby guaranteeing as far as possible its continued existence and by so doing establish a permanent monument to the life of James Clerk Maxwell.
Charitable donations are invited from individuals, institutions and societies with an interest in retaining for posterity the house where Maxwell returned every summer for holiday fun and adventures as a child, for "anchoring" as a teenager, for refreshment as a professor, and to recollect and centre his private universe while he was deciphering the invisible universe with his formidable mathematical thought.
Donations should be forwarded to 'The Maxwell at Glenlair Trust', Glenlair, Knockvennie, Castle Douglas DG7 3DF or remitted to the Trust Bank Account at The Royal Bank of Scotland.
