Pollok Country Park in Glasgow is where you can see the award winning Burrell Collection, a magnificent collection of paintings, sculptures, Chinese artifacts, and treasures amassed by shipping magnate Sir William Burrell and his wife. Sadly, these visitors found the experience a let-down, so took to Trip Advisor.

Nothing to do with Paul Burrell or Princess Diana

Review of The Burrell Collection

Reviewed July 14, 2024

Came because we wanted to see the collection of letters, clothes, household items and jewellery the late Princess Diana gave and left her butler and ‘rock’ Paul Burrell. We are big Diana fans and were looking forward for an afternoon of royal magic.

Just so others know - this museum has nothing to do with Lady Di and it is NOT Paul Burrell’s collection of her items. It’s a lovely venue and the tea was nice but it needs to clarify that it has nothing to do with Paul Burrell, Princess Diana or the Royal family so others aren’t disappointed like we were.

Is this a spoof?

Well, it’s been on Trip Advisor for two years!

Oh that’s really funny!

Poor couple didnt do due diligence.

I would imagine the collection was a bit “high brow” for them.

They obviously don't do any research beforehand or even use Google!
