HELENSBURGH Heritage Trust members were invited to a talk given at the AGM of the Helensburgh Tree Conservation Trust on Tuesday May 14 2013.

The Tree Trust AGM consisted of a brief business meeting, followed by a talk by Tom Christian, Keeper of the National Tree Collections of Scotland at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. Tom visited Helensburgh recently and was very interested in the town's street trees.

A PUBLIC talk hosted by the Invisible College project, which is working on improving the St Peter's College and Kilmahew area of Cardross, which will be staged in the village next month.

As part of the project's ongoing programme of activities, Professor Stephen Daniels of the University of Nottingham will give a talk entitled 'Art of the Garden — Staging the Landscape' in Cardross Golf Club on Wednesday June 26 from 6-30-8pm. Helensburgh Heritage Trust members will be welcome to attend.

A BID to form an archaeology society to cover Helensburgh and district has been successful.

The idea came from Rosneath archaeology enthusiasts Tam Ward and Sandra Kelly, with a view to searching for items from the past, making new discoveries, and carrying out research.
