A spokesperson for East Dunbartonshire Leisureand Culture said: “The Scottish Doors Open Days event is now in its 23rd year.

“The idea behind it is to open up buildings that are normally closed to the public or usually have an 
entrance charge.“

Doors Open Days is organised jointly by the Scottish Civic Trust with support from Historic Scotland

and Event Scotland.

Bishopbriggs Library is also taking part on the day, with a number of special drop-in activities, including a treasure hunt from 10am.
