Administration and Governance

The Merchants House of Glasgow, although more ancient in origin, obtained its first recorded constitution in a Letter of Guildry in 1605, later ratified by an Act of the Scots Parliament in 1671. It is an Elective Incorporation, and one of the most important charitable institutions connected with civic, social, commercial and other interests of the City of Glasgow. Its Regulations are amended from time to time in general meeting as necessary.
