The Cordiners’ crest
The crest is a recognisable expression of the Craft’s identity. It links the present Incorporation with the history explored in our records and heritage pages.
Trades Hall from outside
The Cordiners are one of the fourteen incorporated crafts of the Trades House of Glasgow. Trades Hall provides a setting for the civic and social life associated with that community.
Inside Trades Hall
Publicly reported Craft occasions, including the Choosing Dinner, bring the Incorporation’s fellowship into this historic setting. Our news archive includes an account of the 2024 dinner.
