THE HOME OF AIRDRIE PUBLIC OBSERVATORY

A warm welcome to the website of Airdrie Astronomical Association. We are the only Astronomical Association in Scotland that meets on a weekly basis and we are additionally the curators to Airdrie Public Observatory. Our society dates back 116 years to 28th April 1896 and we have been teaching astronomy and science ever since. We hope you find our website of interest and that you can join us at one of our regular Friday meetings.
