The Friends of Thomas Muir

About

The charity's purpose is to celebrate, promote and study the life and work of Thomas Muir of Huntershill, and the relevance of his legacy to the wider history of democracy. We work with a range of local and national organisations to raise awareness of his contribution to the cause of social reform through the medium of stage presentation, art and literature, and academic discourse. Among other activities, we organise exhibitions and seminars, the annual East Dunbartonshire School Arts Competition, and the annual Thomas Muir Symposium, hosted in one of our secondary schools, with guest speakers from the academic and local history community, and contributions from students.
