William Patrick Library: Display by Kirkintilloch and District Society of Antiquaries
East Dunbartonshire
The William Patrick Library opened at its current location in 1994 to replace the town library at Camphill House, Peel Park. It was refurbished in 2012. The stained-glass panels from Middlecroft House, the former home of Rita Cowan Taketsuru, the mother of Japanese Whisky, are housed inside. Visit Archives and Local Studies on the first floor of the library during its opening hours to discover more about your local history.
The Kirkintilloch and District Society of Antiquaries was founded in 1933 and is the local history society for Kirkintilloch. They hold meetings from October to April and organise outings to local sites of historical and cultural interest.
Following the success of the 2023 event, the Antiquaries are thrilled to present a new exhibition in the library foyer, focusing on 'Significant residents of Kirkintilloch and their legacy'. This time, we will showcase a fresh group of personalities, featuring archive and newly taken photographs of their residences, workplaces, and other associated sites, including their graves and memorials in the Old Aisle Cemetery.
The exhibition will be on display until Saturday 14th September.
