These nine Glasgow buildings are the oldest in the city

History is all around us in Glasgow, with the oldest architecture stretching back to the founding of the burgh some 900 years ago.

While it's true that much of Medieval Glasgow was swept away in the years after the Industrial Revolution, the list of historic structures in the city is a formidable one.

From the Provand's Lordship, which is thought to be the oldest house in the city, to Downton Abbey doppelganger, Pollok House, there's plenty in Glasgow to whet the appetite of the most avid heritage aficionado.

Join us as we take a look at nine of the oldest buildings in Glasgow that have stood the test of time.
