Provan Hall is an A listed medieval building, dating back to 1470s, located in Auchinlea Park, which sits at the heart of Easterhouse. The building has undergone a £2m restoration by Glasgow City Council that will safeguard this important heritage asset as a new hub for heritage, arts and creative learning and engagement, and a visitor gateway to the Seven Lochs Wetland Park.
