Company History
There are records of an Old Man’s Friend Society in Glasgow going back to 1863 (when the president is listed as a John Wright). In the late 1890s Baird and Thomson (a Glasgow based architectural partnership) designed buildings for use by the Society, which may have included Balmanno House. At this point Sir William Robertson Copland was one of the directors.

Balmanno House is situated on Cleveden road in the West End of Glasgow, and is currently listed as a small, home that accommodates 51 residents. The company is listed as the owner of the property, and as a small private home owner. Balmanno House is the only property owned by the company.

This company and property should not be confused with Balmanno Castle, in Perthshire.
