Provan Hall, Medieval manor house in Easterhouse, Scotland.
Provan Hall is a medieval manor house from the 15th century made up of two parallel buildings within Auchinlea Park, a twenty-acre green space near Glasgow. The buildings show characteristic features of fortified residences from that era and function today as a museum for visitors.
The north range of the manor was built in the 1460s when a church official managed a large estate in this area. The buildings have survived through centuries of changes in the surrounding landscape and community.
The house serves as a community heritage site where local groups gather for educational programs and events throughout the year. Visitors can see how the building functions as a gathering place and cultural hub for the neighborhood.
The building is open Thursday through Sunday, offering visitors time to explore both the manor and the surrounding park grounds at a relaxed pace. The location is easy to reach and welcomes visitors with no admission charge, making it accessible for casual visits.
A major restoration completed in 2023 transformed this fortified residence into a functional museum while keeping its original medieval structure intact. The renovation allows visitors to experience the historic rooms without losing the authentic character of the place.
