A house is marked at Daldowie on Timothy Pont's manuscript of 1596, published in 1654 at Amsterdam but this was not suitable for a man of George Senior's status. By 1745 he had erected in its stead a magnificent mansion (later much extended). In that year, Bonnie Prince Charlie was in Glasgow with his army and on Christmas Day sent a George (like most of the local gentry, reluctant to support this rebellion) a demand for hay, oats and straw for his horses "under pain of military execution". The Highlanders who came to collect the supplies, also stole some horses and abused George's servants. George complained to the Prince, and received from him, on the 29th, a warrant "to protect and defend the estate, house and horses of George Bogle, Jnr, of Daldowie". Later, the family went to Bothwell Bridge to see the Prince and his army pass. George's elder daughter describe Charles as "a fine looking young man, with long fair hair".
