Architect unknown Category A listed This was the country seat of the medieval prebend (a sort of large parish) of Barlanark. The priest who lived here would spend six months each year preaching at Glasgow Cathedral and the other six here. Two buildings sit across a courtyard with whinstone walls completing the defensive enclosure. The north block, with its stout stair tower, looks older. However the southern block may simply be much adapted to its current Georgian appearance. The ground-floor vaulted roofs in the north building run in different directions, creating a structure of great stability. A timber tower, like a traditional Scots keep, may once have adjoined its western gable.

The oldest house in Glasgow (and well hidden). If you like history, especially locally, ask for the guided tour. The fellow that showed us around was very knowledgeable

It's the oldest house in Glasgow The team will give an overview It's free Toilets Nice park for spending time on weekends. Lot of activities on weekends Check website for activities

Lovely gardens and good place to walk and be in nature. There is a little area with a metal tree that has metal leaves that are inscribed for baby's that passed away before there time. Not a lot of parking within the site you may have to park outwith on a busy day. Rumoured to be the oldest building in Glasgow and the most haunted.

Site not open yet after refurbishment , so only got a walk round perimeter. Looking great and looks like it might be opening again soon. Potentially older than Provands Lordship on High St.

Lovely experience. If the hall and gardens can receive funding for a restoration project it could be returned to it's glory days. Worth a visit.

Will be 5⭐s once it's finished currently being renovated

Great place for history enthusiasts all about Scotland great for taking the kids and also visiting tourists to sample Scotlands heritage great place to see how people lived back in they days how they lived you get a feel of this place great place to walk if you enjoy gardens woods to walk in beautiful surroundings

A place ripe with history. There are some low ceilings and trip hazards but a worth a visit.

Steeped in history.

Beautiful historic place with beautiful garden

Excellent place for a wee walk.

I attended a calligraphy workshop in this interesting, historic house and grounds hidden away in Easterhouse. I believe It is now being refurbished and I look forward to visiting again in the future.
