Important announcement

Unforeseen operational resource challenges over the weekend mean that our food waste collection service is suspended today, Monday 3 November.

If your food waste bin was due to be emptied today, please take in your bin and present on the next collection day, Monday 10 November.

Green bin collections in a small number of streets in the Lenzie, Kirkintilloch and Bearsden area are also affected. If your green bin has not been emptied today, please leave it on the kerbside for collection tomorrow, Tuesday 4 November.

Our teams will be working hard to minimise the impact, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The focus will be on fantastic images when the Auld Kirk Museum in Kirkintilloch opens the shutters on its latest show.

The 'Scottish Photographic Circle Exhibition' is being hosted between 13 January and 15 February 2024. Admission is free.

It will include a range of stunning images from some of the country's finest amateur photographers – with subjects ranging from buildings and landscapes to nature, wildlife and people.

The Scottish Photographic Circle was founded in 1907 at a meeting of enthusiastic artists, who agreed that a society would be formed to promote pictorial photography in Scotland.

Since then, the group has gone from strength to strength and its exhibitions at the Auld Kirk are always popular.

We're delighted to welcome the Scottish Photographic Circle back to the museum. We have been fortunate enough to host its exhibitions for a number of years and I'm sure 2024 will be another success – showcasing a range of striking prints.
