Welcome to Glasgow Skeptics in the Pub.
Skeptics in the Pub was founded by Dr Scott Campbell in 1999, for all those interested in the bizarre and the rational approach to extraordinary claims.
A speaker is invited each month to present a topic of interest, which is followed by a discussion in a relaxed and friendly pub atmosphere.
Please, join the Facebook group here and the Meetup group here. These will make organising events significantly easier, and allow for discussions and debates, whilst building a sense of community.
We hope to see you there.
