6 September 2025 (10:00 - 16:00) 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 Antiquaries are hosting an exhibition in the foyer of the library on the theme of “Significant Personalities of Kirkintilloch and District” with a new group of personalities. The exhibition will include archive and newly taken photographs of significant residents of the district, their houses, workplaces, other sites associated with them, and their graves and memorials in the Old Aisle Cemetery. Come along on Saturday 6 September between 10am and 4pm to chat to members of the Antiquaries. The exhibition will then continue until Saturday 13 September.
