Our Turkish bath is a working relic of the Victorian age but there have been times that its survival was not assured, and there are challenges ahead.

Heating the air for the Turkish suite
A Victorian Turkish bath circulated heated air to create a hot dry atmosphere. How was that done?
Staff in the Turkish bath
The Arlington Baths Club recruited staff specifically for the Turkish Bath. As the Club grew and facilities expanded, so did the variety of staff roles.
The Dalrymples
The Dalrymple family was heavily involved in the Arlington Baths in the early 20th century while James Dalrymple was also making his mark on the city as manager of the Glasgow trams.
Tiles in the Turkish
The Turkish Suite in the Arlington Baths has some beautiful encaustic and vitreous mosaic tiles from some of the best manufacturers of the Victorian period.
