I think so, Elizabeth. I've not been in although I've passed it. It's in the old part just down from the Necropolis, I think  :)

It is indeed.  It's the Provands Lordship.
My mum has an old print of this from a different angle showing the Cathedral in the backgrouund.
I've carried a photograph of the print in my wallet for about 25 years.

Now thats what I call a photo to have
Dave it is great

Gadget we were through this place in January
we took the city tour bus and stopped here to go into the Cathedral then we went over the road to this spot after we that we boarded the bus again and it took us right through to the river side and the SSEC Exhibition Park and back to the stop beside the railway station it was a nice tour ,
now then on this tour was another museum and it had old motor bikes and aircraft i think,
 there was no more time or we would have got off the bus to go into this museum anyone know what it is called

Glasgow Transport Museum - directly opposite the Museum and Art Gallery.
Not far from Gray St Poll.
There's a replica of an old Glasgow Street in there too.
Great place to visit.
