Sad it's not open at the moment. I wish it said more clearly that it's not open. Was a bit of a she's as the museum opposite was also closed.

(Translated by Google) Provand's Manor is a historic medieval house museum located at the top of Castle Street, within sight of Glasgow Cathedral and the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and next door to St Mungo's Museum of Religious Life and Art. History 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 the revenues of the Lord of Prebend (or "Provand") of Barlanark. Later that century it was purchased by the Morton family who used it as a candy store. After a generous gift from Sir William Burrell, in the form of cash, as well as a collection of 17th-century Scottish furniture in the late 1920s, the house was purchased by the specially formed Provand's Lordship Society whose aim it was to protect it. In 1978 the building was purchased by the City of Glasgow and restored. It was reopened to the public in 1983 and, after further restoration work that lasted two years, it reopened in 2000.
