What's On at Maryhill Burgh Halls & The whitehouse
EXHIBITION: every picture tells a story
13th August - 11th October 2026
Monday - Friday, 10pm - 5pm / Saturday, 10am-3pm
At the heart of this exhibition is The Canal Locks Maryhill (1879), a painting by Andrew Maclaren Law showing Lock 22, the lockkeeper's cottage, and canal life near the Kelvin Aqueduct.
What looks like a quiet Victorian scene holds more than you'd think. We've traced the lock-keeper's family and their working lives on the canal, and uncovered how the painting itself vanished for 138 years before turning up at auction in 2018. Even The Whitehouse, quietly in the background, has its own story, one we're now part of.
Presented with Scottish Canals, the exhibition explores the wider tale of the Forth & Clyde Canal, from its engineering roots to the work still shaping its future today.

Litterpick: Keep The Nolly Swanky

A bit of a sad stat for you: litter and flytipping on the canal is up 67% in the last four years. Not great for the water, the green space, or the wildlife who call it home.
That's why we're chuffed to be backing Keep The Nolly Swanky's monthly litterpicks. No need to sign up, just turn up.

TALK: LUFTWAFFE ATTACK ON THE CLYDESIDE
AT MARYHILL BURGH HALLS
Come to Maryhill Burgh Halls for the fourth talk in our new monthly series Connected Community.
Did you know Maryhill and the surrounding area were part of one of the most heavily targeted regions in Scotland during the Second World War?
Join us at Maryhill Burgh Halls for a fascinating talk exploring the story of the Luftwaffe's bombing campaign on the Clydeside, and what it meant for the people who lived through it. Marc Conaghan will take us through the history, the impact on local communities, and the stories that don't always make it into the textbooks.
Come along to learn something new and enjoy soup and a sandwich.
Please, book your spot on Eventbrite.
Marc Conaghan holds a Master’s degree in Conflict Archaeology from University of Glasgow, where his research focused on the anti-aircraft defences of Clydeside during the Second World War. He then went on to undertake PhD research until Covid scuppered that plan. His research examines the Luftwaffe attacks on Clydeside, with a particular focus on the bombing campaigns of 1941 and their impact on Clydeside and the wider region. His work explores wartime landscapes, civilian experience, air defence systems, and the lasting memory of the Clydeside Blitz.

TALK: Women of Maryhill
AT MARYHILL BURGH HALLS
Come to Maryhill Burgh Halls for the third talk in our new monthly series Connected Community.
Of over 120 statues in Glasgow to named individuals only four are of women. When Stephen Adam created 20 stained glass windows for Maryhill Burgh Halls in 1878 only two showed women. Why are women underrepresented in this way, and does it matter? This talk will consider these questions and look for commemorations of women in Glasgow in general, and Maryhill in particular, some of which are hiding in plain sight. Through murals, paving stones, and even a tree, stories of Glasgow’s women can be told.
Come along to learn something new and enjoy soup and a sandwich.
Please, book your spot via Eventbrite.
Anabel Marsh graduated in History in 1978, then followed a career in librarianship. After working in various public libraries, she moved into the academic sector in 1990 to Jordanhill College, later part of the University of Strathclyde. When Jordanhill Campus closed in 2012, Anabel took early retirement which has given her plenty of time to return to her first love, history. She now volunteers as a women’s heritage tour guide with Glasgow Women’s Library and Maryhill Burgh Halls and is enjoying discovering all the wonderful women who weren’t on the curriculum in the 1970s.
