Welcome to Strathbungo
Come and see why one of Scotland's finest conservation areas is also one of its liveliest, most fun-loving communities. Here's where to find all the latest news from the Bungo, read the notice board or have your say on the Talkback forum.
Posts appear below, but you can navigate to whichever section interests you by using the links on the right. The search box is also a great way to find relevant information. You can also click on the Bungo Map, an interactive map showing Strathbungo and its surrounding area.
This is the official website of The Strathbungo Society, the community group that represents your interests and organises a year-round calendar of events, but it's you who makes it useful and enjoyable. Go to the contact form and tell us about your news, events, clubs, hobbies - and if you'd like to be a Friend of Strathbungo, we'll be delighted to tell you more.
The Strathbungo Society meets on the third Monday of every month at 7.30pm. The venue is Grianach at 38 Nithsdale Road. The Events section lists upcoming meetings.
This year’s spring event will be taking place at Queens Park Parish Church on Saturday the 6th of March from 10am to 1pm. It will feature the winners of the spring art competition. Come along for a cup of tea and a cake. There are over 90 entries to the art competition, so drop in and see the work of the talented Bungo youngsters.
We’re always looking for volunteers and we’d appreciate any help, whether from 7-9pm on the Friday night before the event to help display artworks or from 9.30-1.30 on the Saturday to help run the coffee morning. Even if it’s just 30 minutes to help make tea or clear tables it will be a big help.
And, as ever, we’d also very much appreciate home baking to sell on the day. Please contact us if you can help, or just turn up on the day: no willing helpers will be refused.

Ive been here for 4yrs now and Im interested to know more about Strathbungo. I hope Ive remembered this correctly, I believe a neighbour told me that priests? used to live in the building Im now in. I think she called them Volunteers of the Land? I read that this area also had mining works under it, is that right? Id basically just like to know more about all things Strathbungo and wondered if you know of the best sources of information.What undiscovered treasures & little known facts can I find out about? Thanks.

I don’t know if anyone can help but i was at bungo at the bells and lost a watch and was wondering if anyone handed it in. It would have been lost between the venue and 30 moray place and is of sentimental value so hope some kind person has found it and handed it to the organisers on the night..thanks for any response.

Hi and happy new year from Cookie.
Now we are over the Christmas and New Year rush and beginning the New Year. I am finally finding the time to get the other parts of the Cookie Idea off the ground and wanted to let the Strathbungo community know about them.
We will be opening the grocery section of our shop and hope to offer a selection of quality fruit and veg for sale. I have been approached by the Southside Food share to potentially hold their veg boxes and we would like to extend this idea to the residents of Strathbungo as a whole.
We believe in collective buying, it promotes community activity and makes quality products more affordable. Supports local activities and its economy.
We can offer this service also for olive oil and wine and we are olive oil producers and direct importers for wine from small producers.
We hope that people will be interested in this alternative form of supply and commerce.
Our cooking club will be held every Monday night and also potentially Sunday. Cookie on these nights is no longer a restaurant shop but becomes a club for those interested in eating and cooking collectively. This is motivated by our interest in community integration development.
The cooking club offer the opportunity for people to share their family traditions through one of its binding elements..food. It allows people to share and develop their knowledge. Even if you don’t know how to cook an egg you can come along and learn by association in a relaxed atmosphere.
