Welcome to the web pages of the Meccano Society of Scotland.
The Meccano system was invented by Frank Hornby in 1901 and first appeared on sale as a constructional toy called "Mechanics Made Easy". This was renamed Meccano in 1907.
The Meccano Society of Scotland was formed in 1984 by a group of like minded enthusiasts interested in Meccano. We cater for a variety of interests. Some of our members are builders and others are collectors, but all are interested in Meccano.
We have around five club meetings a year, usually held in Stirling together with an annual exhibition.
We publish a club Newsletter about three times a year.
Membership of the Society is open to any person interested in Meccano and new members are always welcome.
WARNING - THEFT
One of our members has recently had some Meccano and Marklin stolen along with a very nice MME (Mechanics Made Easy) Set. This is a timely reminder to be on our guard against potential theft of our more desirable items. If anyone if offered a MME set and is suspicious of its origin please contact our Secretary
