Provand's Lordship - Glasgow's Oldest House


Step back in time and discover Glasgow's unique history with a visit to the oldest house in the city.

PL G2.jpgProvand's Lordship was built in 1471, originally as part of a hospital, and is one of only four medieval buildings to survive in GlasgowFollowing extensive restoration and a donation of 17th-century Scottish furniture by Sir William Burrell, it now provides a real flavour of what a home interior of around 1700 would have looked like.

Behind the house is the St Nicholas Garden, a medicinal herb garden that provides an oasis of calm. Visit the garden to see Glasgow's renowned Tontine Faces - a series of stone masks with a fascinating past!

The museum sits across from St Mungo Museum and alongside the medieval Glasgow Cathedral. Why not take a trip to visit all three?
