He's known as the Greenock Catman and has been a mystery in the town ... Every town seems to have their own local lore, but the Catman of Greenock is a particularly strange mythos. The sleepy town on the Scottish coast near Glasgow has a rat-eating Catman that stalks its alleyways. He's known as the Greenock Catman and has been a mystery in the town for decades. Nobody seems to know his real name, where he is from, or has ever heard him speak. There are several theories about him, ranging from him being a lost sailor to a man suffering from mental illness. Locals have reported seeing him several times and everyone seems to have heard of him or has a story abou The Greenock Social Work department even took notice of the video, telling the local papers that theyâ™d sent one of their case workers out searching for him, though they wound up empty handed. No one is quite sure how long the Catman has been lurking the alleys and tunnels of Greenock, but some of the earliest reports date back to the mid-70s. Some said that he was a Russian sailor that had been stranded in Scotland, forced to live off the streets. The first time I saw him it was just getting dark, and all I saw were his eyes. His face is totally black like in the video. He would lie at Scotts Lane path in the bushes behind the fence, pointing at cat meat that was left for cats, asking me to pass it through the fence. I think he was scared to go onto the path for it. Two Centuries Of Shipbuilding By The Scotts At Greenock. 1906. Scotts' Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Ltd. (Firm).

While the shipyards that made the area famous have now closed, Greenock retains its maritime traditions with a ferry port and an international container terminal. They are registered with the Scottish FA as Greenock Morton but have generally been known simply as Morton. In 1994 they applied to become "Greenock Morton" according to an article on Wikipedia but in 1998 they appear to have applied to the Scottish Football League to change their official title back to "Morton." On their web site they are "Greenock Morton.".

  • Glasgow Effect
    Excess mortality in the Glasgow conurbation: exploring the existence of a Glasgow effect James Martin Reid MSci Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of PhD University of Glasgow Faculty of Medicine, Section of Public Health and Health Policy September 2008 ii Abstract Introduction There exists a ‘Scottish effect’, a residue of excess mortality that remains for Scotland relative to England and Wales after standardising for age, sex and local area deprivation status. This residue is largest for the most deprived segments of the Scottish population. Most Scottish areas that can be classified as deprived are located in West Central Scotland and, in particular, the City of Glasgow. Therefore the central aim of this thesis is to establish the existence of a similar ‘Glasgow effect’ and identify if the relationship between deprivation and all cause mortality is different in Glasgow to what is in other, comparable cities in the UK. Methods A method to compare the deprivation status of several UK cities was devised using the deprivation score first calculated by Carstairs and Morris. The population of mainland UK was broken into deciles according to the Carstairs score of Scottish postcode sectors and English wards. Deprivation profiles for particular cities were drawn according to the percentage of the local population that lived in each Carstairs decile. Using data from the three censuses since 1981, longitudinal trends in relative deprivation status for each city could be observed. Analysis of death rates in cities was also undertaken. Two methods were used to compare death rates in cities. Indirect standardisation was used to compare death rates adjusting for the categorical variables of age group, sex and Carstairs decile of postcode sector or ward of residence.

    Edinburgh and Glasgow: Civic identity and rivalry 1752 – 1842 Helen M. Rapport ‘While the Metropolitan City, Edinburgh, may have been the scene of a longer number of historical events than Glasgow, yet not even to Edinburgh must our city of the West give place in the claim of precedence in respect of real historical influence and essential power. Edinburgh has probably done more in recording history, and in enjoying the blessings of civilization and modern improvements; but Glasgow has made history and even been the orginator of the means of advancing civilization, and the amenities of modern life. The latter has laboured, and the former has reaped the fruits of that labour’.

It started as a hamlet - in 1530 it only had a population of 3000 and by 1914, the population had become one million. Glasgow has created a world-class architectural heritage, with a stunning range of buildings that form its city centre and suburbs. The very fine, pale and red sandstone buildings: mansions, terraces, tenements, public, civic and commercial buildings and offices, were a by- product of a period of rapid and prosperous Victorian (1837-1901) expansion. We have to thank our founding fore-fathers for their clever foresights and vision. Glasgow became a powerhouse and the second city of the British Empire through their design.

The pervasive sense that this was a nation in decline sapped self-confidence. This thesis examines the response of the leading West of Scotland industrialists to the extended inter-war trade depression. Focusing on their championing of a series of self-help initiatives firmly rooted in Scotland itself, the thesis reimagines Graeme Morton’s work on Unionist Nationalism for the more challenging conditions of 1930s Scotland, introducing a much stronger economic dimension to Morton’s original argument.
