Participants enjoyed a variety of speakers from different faiths and organisations, and a book launch of Rev Finlay Macdonald’s book, ‘Luke Paul and the Mosque’. From his experience as Principal Clerk and Moderator of the Church of Scotland, Finlay gave a fictionalised account of a minister who wrestles with interfaith relations both within and between faiths.

The aim of this project was to find hidden pieces of glass that perhaps not many folk know about and bring them to a wider audience along with accompanying stories from the people who told us about their glass finds. Here is the result; the Glass Stories Trail. It is a circular route and you can start the trail at any point and visit as much or as little of it as you like. There are also suggestions of additional diversions that you can take away from the trail to see other things that, if incorporated into the trail route, would have made it a bit too big to do comfortably.

  • Pollokshaws Burns Club
    Pollokshaws Burns Club Overview Pollokshaws is an area in the south side of Glasgow. (For more information on this area, see Irene Maver’s article, No‘ Mean City: 1914 to 1950s. Neighbourhoods: Pollokshaws‘ on The Glasgow Story website). This Burns club had 70 members in 1896, which dropped to 60 in 1899. In the 1906 Annual Burns Chronicle and Club Directory, it was reported that the group met at the Lesser Burgh Hall, Pollokshaws. (The Lesser Hall is part of the Pollokshaws Burgh Hall. For a brief history of the building, see ‘Pollokshaws Burgh Hall‘ on The Glasgow Story website). Meetings were held monthly at 8pm on the last Friday, ‘or other convenient evening’. The club’s object, or purpose, was: ‘[…] to endeavour by subscriptions, donations, and such other means as may be available, to establish a fund which shall be used for the encouragement of the study of Scottish literature amongst the inhabitants of Pollokshaws and district, or for any special educational purpose — purely Scottish — which shall be approved of by the Club at any Annual or Special Meeting; to hold yearly a children’s competition in the singing and recitation of previously selected portions of the Poet’s works, and give medals and prizes for excellence therein to the successful competitors.’ (‘Directory of Burns Clubs and Scottish Societies on the Roll of the Burns Federation, 1906’, in Annual Burns Chronicle and Club Directory, ed. by D.
