Auld Kirk Museum
Auld Kirk Museum
The Auld Kirk Museum is located on one of the oldest sites in Kirkintilloch.
The museum houses a rich collection of objects of local, national and international significance, interpreted in an innovative, exciting and educational way for visitors of all ages and abilities.
The Auld Kirk's collection reflects the rich history of the local area. From Roman artifacts to innovations of the 20th century, around 13,000 objects reveal the social, industrial and everyday activities of people who lived or worked in East Dunbartonshire.
Objects in our care range from the commonplace, such as a postcard of Kirkintilloch railway station, to the unexpected, for example, our Japanese Whisky bottle. We also have some very special items, among them a Neolithic carved stone ball from around 3,000 BC, found in a garden in Lenzie.
Some highlights of the collection include:
