History edit

The house was designed by David Hamilton and built as a yachting residence for Matthew Preston, a Glasgow businessman.[3] It was acquired as a convalescent home for the Glasgow Victoria Infirmary in 1896 and officially opened by Lady Watson[a] in June 1897.[3]

The Brooksby Resource Centre, which offers both health services and local council services, was opened at Brooksby House by Nicola Sturgeon, Deputy First Minister, in 2009.[1][5]
