About this audio guide
This guide to Provand's Lordship in Glasgow follows the city's oldest house from its start in fourteen seventy-one as home to the master of a hospital chapel, through the families, shopkeepers and drinkers who came after the priests. You'll meet the Morton family and their sweetshop, and Dreda Boyd, a writer who broke into a men-only club and helped look after this house. Best heard on Castle Street facing the front, then in the garden behind.
