A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our AGM this evening!

Especially our guest speaker @urbanprehisto for sharing the story of prehistoric Glasgow. It was
exciting to hear him refer to our recent geophysics finds as Glasgow’s oldest house!

Huge congratulations to our 2010s on winning the League Cup this weekend!
An outstanding achievement 👏🏆

Thanks to everyone who came to visit our stall at Pollok Kite Fest!

We loved seeing so many young people getting creative and designing their own coats of arms.

Shields at the ready, Crookston Castle is in safe hands! 🛡��🏰

Last summer, 30 amazing volunteers and pupils from 5 local schools joined us to scan the ground around the castle over three days.

Here’s a look back at how it all came together 🎥
