About Sir William Burrells Testamentary Trust

I direct that the articles noted in the Deed of Trust which together with the pictures, bronzes, works of art and other articles of vertu also gifted by my wife and me to the said Corporation form and are hereinafter referred to as 'The Collection' shall be housed together in a suitable building provided as after mentioned all as specially provided in the said Memorandum of Agreement and relative correspondence. I direct my Trustees to hold the whole residue and remainder of my means and estate in perpetuity and to apply the whole free income thereof in the purchase of works of art which shall include pictures and all such articles as are detailed IN THE SEVENTH PLACE hereof as well as any others (it being my wish that a very decided preference be given to works of art of the Gothic period of the highest standard) and to deliver these works of art when purchased to the Corporation or the City of Glasgow to form additions to 'The Burrell Collection'.
