Page "Yorkhill" Paragraph 4

In 1813 the mansion and grounds were sold to Andrew Gilbert, another merchant, who purchased other adjoining lands and included these and the mansion under the general title of Yorkhill.

The whole Yorkhill estate was left by him to his niece, Jane Gilbert, when he died in 1838.

She had married the painter John Graham in 1834 and when Mrs Graham inherited her uncle ’ s estate, her husband assumed the surname Graham-Gilbert.

In later years he worked from a studio in Yorkhill House and on his death his collection was left to the City of Glasgow.
