Syllabus - The Old Glasgow Club

 The 2012 - 2013 Session is packed with "down to earth", "real people" history.

The club meets at Adelaide's, 209 Bath Street, Glasgow at 7pm for 7:30pm. Tea and coffee are available (with biscuits of course!!) at 7pm with the idea of giving people some time to chat and discuss prior to the speaker's presentation.

Visitors are most welcome at a charge of £3 per meeting.

In addition to our monthly meetings we also organise guided walks and visits to places of interest around the city. Our summer outing goes further afield - Rosslyn Chapel and Manderston House and Falkland Palace are just three examples.
