"When
12 young men from the east- end of Glasgow sat down in Houston's Tearooms in
Shettleston Road in September 1904to form a new athletics club, little could
they have realised the legacy they would leave behind them. Over the next
century Shettleston Harriers established themselves as one of Scotland's and, at
times, Britain's foremost athletics clubs. Shettleston's story is part of the
story of Scottish athletics and of the saga that was the twentieth century. That
story is now told in a highly successful book published in summer of 2004, the
club's centenary year." Copies of the Harriers' book can be obtained
at £5 per copy through their web site;
