In 2003 Allan Glen's School Club marked the 150th anniversary of the founding of the school. This site celebrates the School and the School Club, whose members are spread across the globe. It also marks the continuation of Allan Glen's legacy in the setting up of the Allan Glen's Endowment Scholarship Trust, to assist pupils from Glasgow schools to study engineering.

Allan Glen’s School developed from a school providing a good practical education for the sons of tradesmen to being the principal science school in Scotland and well merited its alternative title of ‘the High School of Science.’



Around the time of the jubilee in 1903 Allan Glen’s was under the control of the governors of the West of Scotland Technical College and many of its pupils proceeded there for further study but a significant number proceeded via scholarships to Cambridge and Imperial College London.

The majority of pupils attended Allan Glen’s after having gained a scholarship for the first three years and so the range of pupils extended across all social classes and many of the former pupils proceeded to senior posts in business, industry and medicine.

Sweaters, Polo shirts, Ties (traditional and bow) are available from Tom Bell.

Also copies of the 150th Anniversary History and various CD's and DVD's

University hat trick for Glen's men

Lord Gus Macdonald

Lord Macdonald of Tradeston is the Chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University.

Sir Kenneth Calman

Sir Kenneth Calman is the Chancellor of Glasgow University

Sir Robert Smith

Lord Smith of Kelvin is Chancellor of the University of the West of Scotland, (formerly Paisley University).

There isn't a collective noun for University Chancellors - perhaps a "Glen" would be suitable!
