Anniesland College offered many outreach courses in community centres and schools, and had links with other colleges, universities and local industry including shipbuilding.

Notable students

Kenny Dalglish, the Scottish international football player was briefly a student, as an apprentice joiner, in the late 1960s.

Alex Kapranos (Huntley) was a part-time lecturer in IT for a couple of years until June 2003, when Franz Ferdinand, the Glasgow indie rock band, of which he was lead singer/guitarist, signed a recording contract with Domino Recording Company.

Mergers

On 17 November 2011 Cardonald College announced it had entered merger talks with Anniesland College[1] and on 28 March 2012 it was announced by Cardonald College principal, Susan Walsh, that a merger with Cardonald College, Anniesland College and Langside College was "highly likely."[2]

On 30 July 2012 the colleges agreed to push ahead with merger plans and named The Guardian reporter and Cardonald College journalism lecturer, Kirsty Scott, the Merger Communications Manager. [3]

On 28 August 2012 a formal consultation was launched and ran until 16 November 2012.[4]

On 14 December 2012 Cardonald College principal Susan Walsh was appointed principal of the new college. [5]

On 1 August 2013, Anniesland College, along with Cardonald College and Langside College, were absorbed to form Glasgow Clyde College. As a result of the merger, Anniesland College became Glasgow Clyde College Anniesland Campus.

In contrast to most mid-ranged Chromebooks however, the Pinebook Pro comes with an IPS 1080p 14″ LCD panel, a premium magnesium alloy shell, 64/128GB of eMMC storage* (more on this later – see asterisk below), a 10,000 mAh capacity battery and the modularity / hackability that only an open source project can deliver – such as the unpopulated PCIe m.2 NVMe slot (an optional feature which requires an optional adapter). The USB-C port on the Pinebook Pro, apart from being able to transmit data and charge the unit, is also capable of digital video output up-to 4K at 60hz.
