Old travel Blog photograph of the kitchen in Provand's Lordship, Glasgow, Scotland. The kitchen is said to be haunted by the ghost of a lady who was a cook, and who is quite territorial over her kitchen. Provand's Lordship was built in 1471 as part of St Nicholas's Hospital by Andrew Muirhead, Bishop of Glasgow. Provand's Lordship and the nearby Glasgow Cathedral, are some of the very few surviving buildings from Glasgow's medieval period. Provand's Lordship is the oldest remaining house in Glasgow, the cathedral is the oldest building. Provand's Lordship was likely to have been used to house clergy and other support staff for the Cathedral, providing temporary housing. Most of the remaining medieval buildings that surrounded the Cathedral and hospital were demolished between the 18th and 20th centuries.
