Rutherglen Old Parish Church

Rutherglen Old Parish Church 11th March 2017

Our first visit back to Rutherglen since we unveiled our two plaques last year, and this will now be on our commemoration calendar. The Society would once again like to thank Hugh Millar, Session Clerk, for all his help and the Parish for our warm welcome. Hugh made an introductory speech, followed by Convenor Gary Stewart, who presented Hugh with a quaich for all his assistance, and finished up with a short speech and a song from Gordon Aitken.
