The narrow Imperial Stair is lit by three huge lancet windows facing south. Two 19th century French wood nymph carvings guard the approach and huge 18th century Chinese export vases stand in the corners. The portraits are Lister-Kaye family and a small collection of the 'Glasgow Boys', a late 19th and early 20th century artistic movement based on the Glasgow Academy of Art and led by Sir James Guthrie. A fine example of Guthrie's work hangs over the stairs.
