The Urban Historian

#Seethehistoryaroundyou

Welcome to the
Urban Historian

This is the booking website for all of the Urban Historians talks, history cafe’s etc and the Heritage Buddies Graveyard Tours.

Our sister websites Renfrewshire Heritage, Renfrewshire Ancestors, and Heritage Buddies all feed into this website.

We have a new Group on Facebook – Discover Renfrewshire & Paisley Heritage

Do you use Facebook and follow us on our Urban Historian, Renfrewshire Heritage and Renfrewshire Ancestor’s pages? Well with changes by Facebook to the way we can post links to our website, it is becoming harder to get our information on events out to you. Our new group allows sharing of links for events and we are now encouraging discussion on Renfrewshire’s History in a moderated, anonymous free enviroment. We are growing the group and want as many people in Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde and everywhere else with an interest in our Counties amzing heritage to join us!
