About us

Overview

The Tartan LUG is a Scottish group of Adult Fans of LEGO® (AFOLs). We are a very active community who organise public shows, exhibitions, kids’ clubs and AFOL meet-ups. Our members are interested in all aspects of LEGO®. We love to build, collect, show and talk about those beautiful bricks.

Origins

The Tartan LUG has no definite start date as most members have been LEGO® fans their whole life. The members have been meeting together for years to discuss LEGO®. The LUG had its first official organized meet up in December 2014 and its first public show in July 2015.

Community

Our members love to share their builds, ideas and suggestions. Most of the community discussion happens in our closed Facebook group (Tartan LUG Fan Zone), and members-only discussions take place in our forum.

Committee members

As of August 2024, the following committee members were elected:

Christine Aird

Chair

My love of Lego has not diminished since my first set at age 4.
I love building MOCs, I have a whole town including hospital, supermarket and cathedral.
Proud to be part of the LUG, and it has introduced me to many lovely friends!I love attending and displaying at shows around the country and this has led me to meet so many fellow LEGO® fans!

Kenny Smith

Secretary

I have been a Lego fan as long as I can remember and still have sets that are over 30 years old. I love the Creator modular sets and being a bit of a geek anything Star Wars or superhero related goes down well (I even combine them on occasion). Lego is very much a family affair for me with my daughter having a keen interest and can be seen at most displays with me.

LUG Ambassador
Karen Grayburn

Karen Grayburn

Engagement Officer


As an AFOL and certified facilitator of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methods and materials, I use LEGO bricks to design and facilitate change management, strategic thinking and professional and personal development solutions.
I love designing and creating mosaics and I also build everyday household objects out of LEGO bricks.
