A Local Place Plan for maryhill
AT THE WHITEHOUSE
A Local Place Plan for Maryhill
What should Maryhill look like in 10 years? More green space, better transport, somewhere for young people to go, a canal path that's well looked after? This is your chance to say so.
MBHT are leading the development of a Local Place Plan for Maryhill, which will reflect the aspirations of the community regarding what development is needed and how this should be prioritised. Join us to share your ideas for how Maryhill could and should develop over the next 10 years.
In plain terms, it's a document that sets out what local people want for the area. Glasgow City Council takes it into account when drawing up the city's next development plan, and it can be considered when planning applications are decided.
Come along, grab a cuppa, and tell us what matters to you.

'The Old Oak' Film Screening
A community film screening at Maryhill Burgh Halls, delivered in partnership with Maryhill Against Racism.
Doors Open: 16:30
Film Starts: 17:00
Reserve your ticket on Eventbrite.
Maryhill Against Racism* in partnership with Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust are pleased to present a community showing of Everybody to The Old Oak (15+).
Join us at Maryhill Burgh Halls for a screening of The Old Oak, the latest film from acclaimed director Ken Loach.
Set in a once thriving mining village in the North East of England, the film follows TJ, the landlord struggling to keep the last pub in town afloat, as the arrival of Syrian refugees stirs up old tensions and new possibilities. It's a quietly moving story about two communities, both a bit broken, finding their way towards each other.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A.
Talk: Westcoast Witchcraft Trials
Join us for a conversation with Lorraine Murray and Stephanie Shakay Tierney about the history of Scotland’s witchcraft trials in the early modern period, the West Coast connection, and how people engage with traces of that historical memory today.
Come along to learn something new and enjoy soup and a sandwich.
Reserve your spot on Eventbrite.
Lorraine Murray is an archivist and historian interested in the social and architectural histories of Glasgow and the West of Scotland, currently balancing two roles at the Watt Institution in Greenock, and the Glasgow Academy. Lorraine is a public speaker and has co-authored and contributed chapters to various publications including The History of Healthcare in Inverclyde, Finding Forgotten Finnart, Sugar, Ships and Slavery, and The Women’s Realm. She is the author of the Archivist History Blog which includes stories on witchcraft, graveyards and hidden histories. She is also a committee member and volunteer researcher for the Friends of Ramshorn Graveyard and is interested in all things strange and unusual.
Stephanie Shakay Tierney is a PhD candidate in social anthropology at Edinburgh University. Her research focuses on the memorialisation of the early modern witchcraft trials in Scotland, looking at how histories of witchcraft accusations are rediscovered and reassembled through the lens of the present. She writes about kinship, politics of memory, memorials, landscapes, rituals and religion, feminist and queer theory, and witchcraft. Her chapter, "Narratives of Witchcraft: Geillis Duncan, Outlander, and the Politics of Memory," is featured in the anthology Outlander and Scotland: Touchstones and Signposts, published by Luath Press in Edinburgh. Like Lorraine, Stephanie is also interested in all things strange and unusual and bonded over their shared appreciation of vampires, wandering cemeteries, and goth music.

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.
