Welcome

Welcome To Our Web Site

This is a website for people who are generally interested in Montrose and it’s architecture. We not only look to the past in highlighting our architectural history, mainly through our winter series of talks, but the society also looks towards the future, through our annual awards scheme, actively promoting good design and architecture for private and commercial buildings.

Don’t miss our latest series of winter talks, and this year the society have put together an engaging and wide ranging list which all starts on the third Thursday in September in the Legends Suite, George Hotel, and continues on the third Thursday of each month with the final talk in March. Everybody is welcome.

We have also produced a variety of publications in conjunction with our twice yearly newsletter The Steeple. Look out for our updated Sculpture Trail leaflet and an all new Montrose Town Trail leaflet.

We want this to be an informative, enjoyable website to be used by local Montrosians and people with Montrose connections around the world or indeed anybody with an interest in Montrose or architecture.
