During your visit to our College you'll be able to explore many of our beautiful rooms including the College Hall which was designed by Glasgow architect, John James Burnet, and our old library full of books from the 19th century.

Dear Green Places

Our brand new exhibition, Dear Green Places which explores the connections between nature and our health will be opening for the first time.

As part of the exhibition you'll be able to see the oldest book in our collection which dates back to 1479.

You'll also have the chance to see one of our stunning volumes of J.J. Audubon's birds of America and its accompanying exhibition.

There will be some fun activities for kids (of all ages!) including a treasure hunt around the building.
