When my father was a minister in the Church of Scotland, we lived in a manse with walls this thick in the pre Reformation part of the house.It was sooo cold - until the night storage heaters were installed!

| The garden at the back is designed in a Renaissance style - and there is quite a large herb garden round the front and right hand side. I suppose that is from the days when the house had connections with St Nicholas Hospital . |

| I loved the richly-carved heavy dark wood furniture - it is just so right with the stone walls. |

| Evie, for some reason this single red brick caught my eye and made me think of you! |

| We did wonder if we would get back in this tiny doorway! more information here and if you get this far , you really must go across the road to the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art. This museum have an excellent café on the ground floor (even if they happen to be serviing lentil soup every time I go!) It looks out on to a Zen garden. And from the top floor there are excellent views of the Cathedral and the Necropolis. St Mungo's Museum of Religious Life and Art |

Some excellent indoor photography with interesting views showing a lot of the character of the building. But what is/was a Provand?
Oh this is lovely - I do like heavy stone walls.
