On August 15, 2010 (the 154th anniversary of Hardie's birth) the Keir Hardie Society was founded at Summerlee, Museum of Scottish Industrial Life. The society aims to "keep alive the ideas and promote the life and work of Keir Hardie". Amongst the co-founders was Cathy Jamieson who at the time was the Member of the Scottish Parliament for the constituency of Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley, which covers the area where Hardie lived most of his life.

Famous quotes containing the words hardie and/or society:
“I now understand what Christ suffered in Gethsemane as well as any man living.”
—James Keir Hardie (1856–1915)
“I reside at Table Mountain, and my name is Truthful James;
I am not up to small deceit, or any sinful games;
And I’ll tell in simple language what I know about the row
That broke up our society upon the Stanislow.
But first I would remark, that it is not a proper plan
For any scientific man to whale his fellow-man,”
—Bret Harte (1836–1902)
