Glencairn House is a Care Home registered with the Care Inspectorate and is a “not for profit” charity overseen by the Mailler and Whitelaw Trust, which is operated by volunteer Trustees.

The aim of the Trust is to provide excellent & friendly care in an efficient manner. Being a charity means we don’t have shareholders, so all income goes into providing care and reinvestment in the Home.

We endeavour to offer you a warm welcome at Glencairn House and will ensure to make your stay here as pleasant and comfortable as is possible.
