Provan Hall
30 minute walk from Easterhouse station · Glasgow and West Central
Provan Hall is a historic treasure composed of two buildings dating back to the 15th century. Located within the scenic twenty-acre Auchinlea Park in Glasgow, this Category A listed site is owned by the National Trust for Scotland. The two parallel buildings enclose a central courtyard, offering a rare glimpse into medieval architecture.
The site is steeped in fascinating history, having served as a residence for figures like the poet Francis Hamilton and the fashion-leading Elizabeth Durham. Visitors can see a carved stone from 1647 above the courtyard entrance bearing the initials of Robert Hamilton. Fans of the screen may also recognize the hall as a filming set for the series ‘Outlander’.
Today, the recently renovated hall operates as a museum and community hub managed by a local trust. Visitors are welcome to explore the buildings, which have previously hosted notable caretakers like Harold Bride of the Titanic. You can enjoy various events and clubs held within this historic setting, which now serves the local community alongside its role as a heritage attraction.
