Provand's Lordship was built as part of St Nicholas's Hospital by Andrew Muirhead, Bishop of Glasgow
in 1471. A western extension, designed by William Bryson, was completed in 1670. In the early 19th century
the house was occupied by a canon supported by income from the Lord of the Prebend (or "Provand") of
Barlanark – hence the name.
One of only four surviving medieval buildings in Glasgow, it is now a museum and is furnished with a
fine selection of 17th century historic furniture and royal portraits.
