PROVAN HALL, Auchinlea Road

Steve is the caretaker at Provan Hall, the medieval haunt at Eastererhouse's Auchinlea Park and he will show visitors around. Young actors dressed in costume will also take part.

There are two A-listed buildings - Provan Hall and Blochairn House.

"There's a dispute about what is Glasgow's oldest building," he says. "Being diplomatic, we say Provan Hall was built at about the same time as Provand's Lordship ... but we think it's 11 years older, built in 1460 as opposed to 1471, because of certain architectural features."

The estate at one time consisted of more than 4400 acres.

Steve says: "A huge forest, Bishop's Forest, covered this area and it had five lochs."

King James IV was said to be the first owner of Provan Hall - and later visitors included Mary, Queen of Scots.

The last private owners were brothers Reston and William Mather who died in 1934.

It is now owned by the National Trust for Scotland and managed by Glasgow City Council.

Architects have flocked to study Provan Hall's barrel-vaulted ceilings - but another attraction has proved more popular.

"It is one of the most haunted places in Scotland," Steve says.

"There are said to be two ghosts in Provanhall and one in Blochairn House.

"The Ghost Club, the longest running paranormal group in the world, has been here four times."

THE BRIDGE ARTS CENTRE, 1000 Westerhouse Road

The Bridge itself - stylish and open-plan, an unmistakeable landmark - has won awards, while the arts centre has staged everything from live theatre to music.

The Bridge is the first facility of its kind to integrate leisure and learning.

So much for the old claim that Eastererhouse is a cultural desert.

"The pool was built in the 1960s, so when we came to build the new part - the arts centre and the library - the opportunity was taken to revamp the pool, with kids' activity areas, a sauna and a steamroom," says Jackie Shearer, of Greater Eastererhouse Arts Company.

Platform's facilities include an auditorium, a studio theatre, The Den and a recording suite.

Last year, less than 12 months after it opened, the Bridge won the Royal Institute of British Architects award.

The project architect, Gary Johnston, will lead tours hourly between 10am and 4pm on Saturday and Sunday.

ST BENEDICT'S CHURCH, 753 Westerhouse Road

It was refurbished a few years to the tune of £3m and given a modern, Mediterranean-inspired look.

There is also an adjacent office space, let to Eastererhouse Women's Aid.

The offices, which feature a window with a commanding view of the chapel, will be open to the public this weekend.

EASTERERHOUSE FIRE STATION, Grudie Street

"Some people might just want to see the office part, or the residential part and training area, but we'll be happy to show them what they're paying for."

The station, opened in 1964, has four watches of 17 firefighters, and nearly 80 people are based here.

BLAIRTUMMOCK HOUSE ENTERPRISE CENTRE, 20 Baldinnie Road

Despite the M8 a mile away, the substantial house is dignified and impressive.

Acquired in 1956 by Glasgow Corporation for £17,000, the property has now been renovated by an ambitious £3m package.

ST CLARE'S RC CHURCH, 18 Drumlanrig Avenue

Students from the Glasgow School of Art helped with the interior design - and also in the colourful Stations of the Cross along one wall. Each station is made up of thousands of pieces of mosaic.

The parish dates back to 1959 and when it opened the church could seat nearly 700 people, though the number has since been reduced slightly.

"The son of one of the original architects came here last year," said the church's Sister Ann, "and he was thrilled to see the place".

Jackie Shearer says: "The Open Day focuses on buildings which have had an impact in terms of architecture or design.

"This is one of the very few churches left that were built in this distinctive 60s style."
