In 1876 the baths was primarily a swimming and recreational club, mainly, but not exclusively, for gentlemen. Today it is the complete sports and health club – for ladies, gentlemen and children.
As you will know, on Saturday afternoon the First Minister announced that from Boxing Day, mainland Scotland will move to Level 4 Lockdown. This means that while the Western Baths Club will close as planned at 6.30pm on Christmas Eve, we do not expect to reopen until 6am on Monday 18th January 2021.
As before it is our intention to suspend all membership payments immediately, putting all memberships into abeyance for January. Those of you have already paid your annual memberships in full will receive a refund for this and any future Covid-related lockdowns. These will be refunded no later than summer 2021; if you would like a refund before this time please do get in touch. Online memberships will of course continue as normal.
Swim and Gym sessions in the Baths will be cancelled for the duration of this new closure, though advance online bookings for January 18th will recommence on January 11th. Of course, until we close, you can also continue to book a table at the Deepend Bar & Bistro this week and also for your return!
During our closure, Reception emails and telephone messaging will be monitored to enable you all to stay in contact with us, but please bear with us as it may take a little longer for us to respond.
This latest lockdown is very disappointing news for us all. Nonetheless may I take the opportunity to thank you all for your support of the Baths, and wish you the very best for the Festive Season.
