Step back in time and discover Glasgow’s unique history with a visit to the oldest house in the city.
The Provand's Lordship, which was built in 1471 as part of a hospital in the cathedral precinct, is one of only four surviving medieval buildings in Glasgow. Beautifully preserved, the "auld hoose" is furnished with a fine selection of 17th-century Scottish furniture donated by Sir William Burrell, and a series of historic royal portraits. Room settings give a flavour of interiors around 1500 and 1700, so immerse yourself in medieval Glasgow with a visit to this fascinating building.
Behind the building sits the St Nicholas Garden, a medicinal herb garden which is an oasis away from the calm. Find out more here.
