Provand's Lordship was built in 1471,
originally part of the old St Nicholas's
Hospital . It is said to be one of only four
medieval buildings to remain in Glasgow.

The House has been extensively restored,
containing 1600s furniture donated by Sir
William Burrell. Visiting Provand's Lordship,
shows what a home interior from around 1700
would have looked like.
St Nicholas Garden, behind the House, is a
Medicinal Herb Garden, with the Tontine Faces,
a number of Stone Masks with interesting
history.
