Garthdee House, Aberdeen
RGU's The School of Law have graciously partnered with us and we are elated that Scots Law Talks will be hosted at the charming Victorian mansion known as Garthdee House. Constructed in 1872, this granite house with Jacobean features is a fantastic example of Aberdonian architecture of its time.
​
The property was gifted to Robert Gordon's Technical College in 1955. Now, Garthdee House is used as the Principal's Office and for university functions. We are delighted that Scots Law Talks attendees are able to visit this fantastic property on the university's grounds.
Sir Ian Wood Building, Aberdeen
As well as Garthdee House, Scots Law Talks also takes place in the Sir Ian Wood Building (named after Sir Ian Wood, a prominent figure in the oil industry and former university chancellor.) The Sir Ian Wood Building, originally known as the Riverside East Building, was inaugurated in 2013, with Princess Anne officially opening it in 2015.
This campus landmark accommodates the School of Engineering, School of Computing, School of Pharmacy and Life Sciences, The Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment, and the University Library situated in the green Library tower that offers a panoramic view of the campus.

Lathallan School, Johnshaven
Scots Law Talks is pleased to announce a partnership with Lathallan School, whose history dates back to 1930 in Fife. Following a fire on September 2nd, 1949, 74 boys were relocated to the picturesque Brotherton Castle. Originally constructed in 1867 by Hercules James Scott, during World War Two, the castle served as a maternity hospital before being acquired by the school governors in 1950.
​
Today, Lathallan School provides comprehensive education from nursery to senior school levels, maintaining its legacy as the "Best Small Independent School in the UK." The school is deeply rooted in the local community, recognized for its outstanding education and charitable initiatives. We are thrilled to collaborate with Lathallan School in offering educational and engaging events to the local community.

We are excited to announce our collaboration with Peterhead Prison Museum, a captivating historical landmark in the local area. Referred to as “Scotland’s Alcatraz,” this brooding museum is well-known for the exceptional experience it offers and serves as a filming location for various popular TV shows. With a renewed purpose (from its days as a convict prison!) the Prison Museum now offers an enriching and enjoyable experience for all generations.
​
The venue provides accessible amenities, an on-site café, and actively supports several organisations that aim to educate, and serve the local community. Peterhead Prison Museum is an ideal partner for Scots Law Talks events, and we are thrilled to collaborate with them.

Arbroath Court House, Arbroath
Scots Law Talks are delighted to collaborate with the Arbroath Court House Community Trust. This classical revival style venue has seen a lot of change since its creation in 1808, however has always served its community. Originally, the Town House, it is locally known as the 'old Court House' for Arbroath and still retains the cells and court rooms from its previous life.
Now, the Arbroath Court House Community Trust have taken on this sizeable project and are lovingly restoring this beautiful building to its former glory, piece by piece. Accessible, and an important piece of local legal history, what a wonderful venue for Scots Law Talks events.
Hospitalfield House, Arbroath
Scots Law Talks take place in the beautiful and historic Hospitalfield House. This unique venue was built in the 19th century and designed by artist Patrick Allan Fraser and his wife Elizabeth. It sits on the site of a medieval hostel or hospital established by the Benedictine order of monks, who founded Arbroath Abbey.
Hospitalfield is a place to work, study, learn, visit and enjoy. The house is a stunning example of the Arts & Crafts style and provides the perfect backdrop for our educational events.
Angus, Brechin
The Burn, Brechin
We are delighted that The Burn has also partnered with Scots Law Talks. This impressive Georgian mansion house was built between 1791-1796 and sits within a rural estate at the foot of Glenesk. The Burn has worn many hats over the years; as a family home, as a hospital during WW2, and in 1950 it was donated to Goodenough College for scholarly pursuits.
Today, The Burn is a popular destination for academic reading parties and retreats that attract guests from around the world. We are delighted that Scots Law Talks attendees will have exclusive access to this magnificent venue.

What was once a derelict swimming pool has been lovingly transformed into a thriving venue that is accessible to everyone.
The venue boasts fully accessible facilities, tailored screenings, and social programs designed to inspire, educate and support all members of the local community. The Montrose Playhouse provides an excellent venue for our events.

The Stirling Smith Art Gallery & Museum, Stirling
We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with The Stirling Smith Art Gallery, an organisation that holds a significant place in Stirling's history since its establishment in 1874. Founded by the artist Thomas Stuart Smith, it represents a historic public-private partnership that endures to this day. Initially conceived as a gallery focusing on contemporary art, along with a museum and a library reading room for the local communities, it has evolved into a versatile hub for Stirling.
​
Today, it serves as a gallery, museum, and cultural centre, preserving the historical artifacts and paintings of Stirlingshire while also showcasing works by contemporary artists. Additionally, it hosts many events for the local community in its lecture theatre and visitors are able to enjoy their café and garden.​

Scots Law Talks are also delighted to partner with The Circle and our events also take place in the stunning Dudhope Castle. This is a medieval tower house, built in the late 13th century by the Scrimgeour family. It sits on the foot of the Law and has many uses over the years including army barracks and as office space.
The Circle now leases this space and are involved in supporting an incredible range of projects and organisations including local charities, social enterprises and community groups. This venue is a wondrous example of medieval architecture and this location provides an ideal setting for our educational events.
