‘Keep Calm and Carry On: World War II’ is the title of Milngavie Heritage Group’s latest exhibition, opened by Depute Provost Colette McDiarmid in Milngavie Library.
Focusing on the war experiences on the Home Front in Milngavie and Bearsden, the exhibition brings together fascinating stories and artefacts from the local community.

Depute Provost McDiarmid said, “In this exhibition we can share in people’s very real experiences of sheltering from bombs, the pain of evacuation, the constant worry for those on the battlefield. We learn about rationing, of pooling resources and talents, of going without, and of course finding humour in the darkest of moments.
“I hope that as many as possible of our children and young people get the opportunity to see this exhibition to learn about the vital role of those on the Home Front in the victory we won. We must always remember and give thanks for the invaluable contribution made by the men, women and children on the Home Front.”
The exhibition is open during library hours, Monday to Saturday until Saturday 7 June 2025.
