Title: Clerk to the Trades House Glasgow
Post by: TropiConsul on Friday 27 January 12 19:20 GMT (UK)
What does the Clerk to the Trades House Glasgow do and what is the nature of the appointment?

It appears that in 1790 James Mathie, writer, received this appointment when the previous clerk died.

Yeah, I had already visited that website but it doesn't tell me anything about the duties and the appointment of the Clerk to the Trades House.

I really think the person to ask is Iain Paterson, the current clerk.

If you would like to know what the clerk to the Trades House of Glasgow did in the past or the future, please visit www.tradeshousemuseum.org and leave a message in the Contact Us page and the Archivist will reply within a few days.

The above website has a digital library in which there are numerous books on the Trades House (including minute books) and also for each of the Incorporations.

The building can be visited by appointment and you get a fantastic tour of the building which is still used by the Trades House and the 14 Incorporated Trades of Glasgow.

Best wishes,
