Well worth a visit. The restoration has been done to a high standard, love the stone walls and wooden beams. Very interesting place, with loads of historical facts and the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Nice garden outside with gargoyles all around.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
Definitely pop in here if you get the chance! The staff are knowledgeable, the house itself has been restored to perfection and you can see the history everywhere. The gardens were gorgeous and there are lots of little signs around to explain what you’re looking at. Highly recommend!
Had a great visit. Place looks great after its "refurb". Tour guide Ian was very informative and we all learned loads about the building : its history and how it has been altered recently. Scariest moment is the creepy man upstairs lovely garden too. We're already looking forward to seeing it get back to its former glory.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
An interesting house that is one of Glasgow's oldest medieval buildings. Now a museum. The physick herbal garden - and cloisters outside - were pleasant. I'm glad I went - free entry, worth 4 stars in my opinion. Laminated information sheets in several languages are provided. Good information boards beside the exhibits. Exhibits included beautifully carved wooden furniture donated by William Burrell - of the world-famous Burrell collection. I particularly liked the photos and original oil paintings by Tom McGoran on display, they depict mid 20th century Glasgow life as I remember it - namely dirty and at times polluted - but vibrant.
Entry is free. This is worth it to see if you are into architecture or history. Well worth any donation.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait

Provand's Lordship is a historic house museum and said to be the oldest house in Glasgow and of medieval origin. There's some pre-printed notes describing the house and it's history, though you'll have to get it yourself as the staff don't mention it. The ground and first have been through a restoration, so contains furnishing to reflect the assumed state. The ground floor has an interesting short documentary about the house and the first has been set up with what the room might have looked like in the days of Canon Cuthbert Simson, 500 years ago. Both the furnishing and restoration are good quality. The second floor is mostly an exhibition of Scottish art related to Glasgow. The gardens are also very nice and set up like one of the uses of gardens centuries ago, as a place to go herbs with medicinal properties. Don't miss the Tontine Heads in the gardens!
I visited this little gem of glasgow Last Monday truly enjoyed my time there the assistant in here greeted me in a warm friendly manner. If you haven't visited this place of interest;..you gottaVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
It was touching reading the history of the struggle to preserve this historically very important home. They have done a great job recreating the living conditions from over 500 years ago, and I recommend a visit to help support the preservation of the house. The garden is a bonus, with the healing herbs and info signs. We had a short time here on a cruise ship for the day docked in Greenock - we did it on our own and fit in the Necropolis, Glasgow Cathedral, St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, Provand's Lordship, the HOHO bus, lunch at George Square and Rick Steves "Glasgow Walk" from his book.
Provand's Lordship is reputed to be the oldest house in Glasgow, dating from when this was the centre of Glasgow, it's related to the Cathedral next door and would have housed representatives of the church. Mary Queen of Scots and Bonnie prince Charlie are said to have stayed here. The house consists of 3 floors with usually 4 rooms on each floor, the ceilings are low and the door ways lower adding to the olde world feeling. There is a small peaceful garden out back. A must visit place in Glasgow
