Arlington Echoes

Founded in 1870, the Arlington Baths Club is a Victorian swimming pool and Turkish bath in the heart of Glasgow.Owned and run by members, for members, on a not-for-profit basis, this community club is the oldest of its kind in the world.The Grade 'A' listed Victorian bathing complex was constructed in four phases over more than 30 years by eminent architects of the time and features an unusual and beautiful Turkish bath where members can soothe away aches, pains and the pressures of the day.Over 150 years ago, the founders of the Club achieved a relaxed combination of physical exercise and sociability which continues to be embraced and enjoyed by our members today.
