Heritage Week, 27 August to 3 September 2011

Milngavie Heritage Centre Group is holding a Heritage Week from 27th August to 3rd September 2011. The venue will be the former Court Room attached to Milngavie Town Hall. It will be open from 9.30 a.m. till 4 p.m. each day during the week except Sunday, and there will be an official opening ceremony at 10.30 a.m. on Saturday 27th August 2011. There will be displays and a competition.

The Heritage Group would like to establish a permanent site for a Milngavie Heritage Centre and have identified the former Court Room as a possibility. However, more importantly, they would like to build a collection of information and pictures regarding the local and surrounding areas. If anyone has information or pictures which they can either copy and bring along, or bring them along and have them copied on the spot and returned, please do so. The group would be delighted to receive them.

Douglas Academy local history group will also be in attendance. They hope to get people to sign up for their "oral history" project, and they, too, would love to hear from people, so come along and support this worthy project.
