The Heritage Centre is dedicated to showcasing the rich story of Milngavie’s history and heritage. The surrounding countryside and the adjacent communities are also part of the Centre’s research and exhibitions.
The Concept
What the group have in mind is a dramatic visual experience of the sweep of Milngavie history, from prehistoric times down to the present. Professionally designed banner displays would cover such concepts as:
Prehistoric Milngavie, Mediaeval Milngavie, Civic Milngavie, Milngavie Personalities, Commuting from Milngavie to Glasgow and Modern Milngavie.
These would form an engrossing panorama to enable the visitor to wander as a time-traveller, through the various phases of Milngavie History.
Promises of Support
Besides Milngavie Community Council and Milngavie Heritage & History Group the following have so far promised support:
Bearsden & Milngavie Historical Society, Bearsden & Milngavie Ramblers, Douglas Academy History Group, Tannoch Loch Company, Milngavie Bookshop, Milngavie Tourism Information Office, and Scottish Water.
