The Royal Philosophical Society of Glasgow was founded in 1802, when the term ‘philosophy’ meant knowledge in the broadest sense. The Society provides stimulating lectures and discussion for members on a great diversity of topics.

You can see information and records of our previous speakers using the ‘Lectures’ tab and clicking on Past Lectures, and see the member event planned for September in the latest Members’ Newsletter, accessible from the ‘News’ tab

Our programme of lectures for 2023/24 will begin on 4^th of October 2023 and members will shortly be receiving the programme brochure.  You can see some of the forthcoming talks below. Following the great success of our visits to sister societies in York and Newcastle, a new members trip to Belfast is arranged for May 2024 in which we will visit the Belfast Natural History & Philosophical Society and key heritage sites.  Members will already have received notification of this trip. While the trip is currently full, members can still add their names to the waiting list by contacting the Society administrator George Rawlinson.

The annual Society Soiree event took place at The Fairfields Heritage centre in Govan on the 28^th September 2023. Photographs of this can be found in the news section.
