Provands Lordship, Glasgow, Scotland: A Glimpse into Medieval History Nestled in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland, stands the enchanting Provands Lordship, a beautifully preserved medieval building that transports us back in time. Dating back to circa 1470-71, this remarkable structure was erected by Andrew Muirhead, Bishop of Glasgow, as part of St. Nicholas Hospital. Today, it serves as a captivating museum, offering visitors an intriguing glimpse into Scotland's rich history. The Provands Lordship, also known as Provand's House or Provand's Lordship House, is a rare surviving example of late medieval housing in Scotland. The building's intricate stonework and architectural details showcase the craftsmanship of the time, with its distinctive pointed arches, corbels, and gargoyles. The structure's name, Provand, is believed to derive from the Old French word 'provender,' meaning provisions or supplies, reflecting the hospital's role as a place of refuge and care for the sick and the poor. Andrew Muirhead, the Bishop of Glasgow, commissioned the construction of Provands Lordship as part of St. Nicholas Hospital, which was established to provide shelter, food, and medical care for the city's needy population. The building initially served as the hospital's residence for its master and brethren. Over the centuries, it has undergone various transformations, including use as a school and a private dwelling, before being restored and converted into a museum in the late 20th century. A visit to Provands Lordship is a must for anyone interested in Scottish history, architecture, or medieval buildings. The museum's collection includes a variety of exhibits showcasing the history of Glasgow and its people, as well as temporary exhibitions and educational programs. With its charming atmosphere, Provands Lordship offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into Scotland's past, inviting us to explore the stories and secrets hidden within its ancient walls.
