Alyth Literary Society

'It is known that a literary society was formed in Alyth in 1875 and that it replaced a previous society which had ceased to function ... The meetings which are held throughout the winter months are open to all and new members are always welcome ... There has always been a wide range of topics at the meetings with a more literary content in earlier times but the format of the syllabus has remained remarkably similar over the years with talks on popular subjects such as history and travel.'
