There is a short notice about the concert, on page six of The Glasgow Herald, on Wednesday the 22nd of December, 1897:

 

“CONCERT AT MARYHILL. – Last night, under the auspices of the Victoria Jubilee (Maryhill) Lodge of Ancient Shepherds, the Glasgow Choral Society gave a performance in full Highland costume of ‘Rob Roy’ in the Burgh Hall, Maryhill. The object of the concert is to provide a prize fund in connection with the lodge. Councillor Kerr presided, and there was a crowded audience. Mr J. MacIntosh proved an excellent ‘Rob Roy,’ and Miss A. L. Merrylees (medalist) scored a success as ‘Helen Macgregor.’ The other characters acquitted themselves satisfactorily. The chorus, numbering 100 voices, rendered the various part-songs in a pleasing manner. Mr W. Grant, A.C. (E.M.), acted as conductor, and Mr James Clark made an excellent accompanist. Mr Dan. Gunn officiated as piper.”
