Inverclyde National Sports Training Centre
The redevelopment of Inverclyde national sports training centre involved demolishing the former mansion house which stood on this spot to make way for an innovative £9m parasports facility which will be the first of its kind in the UK.
The Inverclyde Sports Centre was formerly Burnside House, which was built circa 1860. The architect was David Cousin.
It was first the home of Robert Sinclair Scott of the Greenock shipbuilding firm, and about 1920, it was bought by Robert Barr. He formed a company which ran the house as Hills Hotel.
During the war the hotel was taken over by the Government and it became the headquarters of the First Army.
After the war, the building re-opened as the Hills Hotel and in the 1950s the house and grounds were bought by the Scottish Council for Physical Recreation. Inverclyde was opened by the Queen on 7th August 1958. It got its name because Lord Inverclyde had been chairman of the Scottish Council for Physical Recreation, but he died before the building opened.
