Welcome

Welcome to the Glasgow Caledonian Philatelic Society promoting stamp collecting and philately in the Glasgow area since 1906.

A NEW MEETING VENUE

The new meeting venue will be used for the first Summer Meeting on 23rd July 2026. Meetings will be in a dedicated room co-located with the Glasgow Stamp Shop at the top of West Nile Street in Glasgow.

The location is:

Suite E/F,

Victoria Chambers,

142 West Nile Street,

G1 2RQ

The room is on the first floor and there is a lift from the entrance. You will need to use the buzzer to gain access to the building when you arrive.

The Glasgow Stamp Shop’s new premises are on the same floor at the top of the stairs at the front of the building. It is a good opportunity to give them extra custom.

This provides the Society with a Centralised location in Glasgow and the room can be set up in a semi permanent manner. Meetings will be a mix of Thursday afternoon meetings and Thursday evening meetings as detailed in the Meetings page.

Afternoon meetings will still be at 1.30pm but the evening meetings will be held at 7pm.

Members enjoy talks, displays on different themes, visits from other philatelic societies and invited guests, annual competitions and the ever popular auction

Access to meeting room at Glasgow Stamp Shop.

The Glasgow Stamp Shop is now at 142 West Nile Street, slightly further up West Nile Street from its previous location. Being in the centre of Glasgow there is easy access from the nearby main railway stations (Queen Street and Central Station) as well as the Glasgow Underground at Buchanan Street. On street parking is available in the evenings but is very limited (but still free after 6pm). It is advised to use the car parks at the Concert Hall Multi Storey Car Park or the Buchanan Galleries Multi Storey Car Park. Frequent busses travel to the centre of Glasgow and the Buchanan Bus Station is nearby. All the car parks and bus station are a short walk to the Glasgow Stamp Shop.

There is a lift as the room is on the first floor upstairs.

Full details and other detail of events and news about the hobby of stamp collecting in Scotland can be found on the ASPS Web Site.
