Stirling and Central Scotland
Author: John Gifford
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 9780300095944
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 948
Book Description
Stirling and Central Scotland straddles the divisions between Highland and Lowland, rural and industrial Scotland. Castles range from Stirling, its fortifications enclosing a Renaissance palace of international significance, to the strongholds of medieval magnates at Doune, Blackness and Castle Campbell, from tower houses at Clackmannan and Alloa to the Georgian barracks complex of Dumbarton. Many buildings fully explained for the first time include Kinneil House, which developed from tower, to palace of the Regent of Scotland to Restoration showhouse; and the huge spread of Callendar House, aggrandized over four centuries with many changes of dress. Other major houses include Bannockburn House, with its superb plasterwork, and the eighteenth century mansions of Strathleven House, Touch House and Robert Adam's castellated villa of Airthrey Castle. Dunblane Cathedral and Stirling's Church of the Holy Rude magnificently represent medieval churches while post-Reformation successors range from the rural simplicity of Baldernock to the sumptuously fitted Alloa West Church. The buildings of the many towns and picturesque villages are just as varied, from Stirling's medieval Old Town, to the Victorian townscapes of Alloa and Falkirk, the prosperous villadom of Bearsden and Lenzie, and the redevelopment of blitzed Clydebank. Industrial memories of the collieries, mills, shipyards and ironworks are also recalled, not least by the contrast between the workers' housing and the industrialists' mansions. Notable twentieth century buildings include the boomerang-shaped Bannockburn High School, the University of Stirling's lakeside campus and the evocative development of Lomond Shores while the twenty-first century has opened with construction of the Millennium Wheel at Falkirk.

The People of Dundee and Angus at Home and Abroad, 1800-1850
Author: David Dobson
Publisher: Clearfield
ISBN: 9780806359397
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This book identifies residents in the adjacent counties of Dundee and Angus, as well as emigrants from there, between 1800 and 1850. Dundee and Angus now form distinct Scottish administrative units but were formerly a single district known as Forfarshire. The main towns were Brechin, Forfar, and Kirriemuir in Strathmore, with Dundee, Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, Arbroath, and Montrose along the coast. From the medieval period to the Victorian era Forfar was the administrative center of Angus or Forfarshire, while Dundee, still within Angus, was fast becoming the main industrial and port city. By the late 19th century Dundee had become one of the biggest cities in Scotland. The information in this book is derived from a wide range of sources, such as count records, contemporary newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and documents found in archives. The entries bring together emigrants, their destinations--especially in North America, the West Indies, and Australasia--with their kin who remained in Scotland.
