(NS 6009 6544) Barony Church (NAT)
on site of St Nicholas Hospital (NR)
OS 1:500 plan, Glasgow, (1895)
Macleod Street and the buildings of the new Barony Church now occupy the greater part of the ground on which the old hospital and chapel, dedicated to St Nicholas, stood (Renwick 1908). The hospital was founded by Andrew de Durisdere, bishop of Glasgow, for a priest and twelve old men, in 1471. Although the "back almshouse" was deserted before 1600, the hospital continued till the 18th century (Easson 1957), its ruins being removed in 1798. The chapel was removed in 1808.
D E Easson 1957; R Renwick 1908; R Renwick and J Lindsay 1921.
No trace of either chapel or hospital was seen in 1951.
Visited by OS (W M J) 5 September 1951.
