The Auld Kirk is situated near to Peel Park in which a Roman Fort on the Antonine wall was once located. In the park itself the bandstand was recently refurbished to its former glory and at the same time benches were introduced so locals and visitors alike could sit in the quiet surroundings of the park and enjoy the view.
Exhibitions in the museum vary but include a diverse range with everything from local history to photography running throughout the year. If you were planning a visit to the Auld Kirk Museum it would be wise to check in advance to see what exhibits are on at that time.
The Auld Kirk Museum is the principal museum for East Dumbartonshire and contains a souvenir shop selling a range of local historical products and literature. The museum also houses a collection of objects of national and international significance, which are interpreted in an innovative and educational way.
