  • Aberdeen History Trail the City Through Its Historical Times
    Aberdeen History Trail The city through its historical times #aberdeentrails #aberdeentrails Aberdeen is bursting full of history! From its ancient origins to medieval burghs and King Robert The Bruce, from the Jacobite connections to the expansion in the Edwardian and Victorian times, the ‘Silver City by the Golden Sands’ has a long, important, and interesting history with many of its people contributing to the wider world. The city started out as three separate royal burghs – Old Aberdeen, New Aberdeen and Torry plus the parish of Woodside – which expanded and merged together to form the city as a whole. There was a major expansion in the Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian eras as the city made its first fortunes based on fishing, granite quarrying and shipbuilding and many of the grand buildings were built during these times. It also included the main thoroughfare, Union Street, which was raised up away from the mud and dirt and built on a series of bridges – it was such a major project it almost bankrupted the city! Enjoy exploring our beautiful city and finding out about its history!

THE anthropomorphic habit of thought manifested in the polytheism of the Greeks and the mono- theism of the early Jews has been responsible, one supposes, for the familiar expression, "the body politic." But if the capital of a country be regarded as its head, there are few large states which have answered con- sistently to the anthropomorphic image.

This study concerns the origins and early years of the Queen Margaret Settlement (here­ after QMS) in Glasgow, from its foundation in 1897 until the outbreak of war in 1914. The QMS merits study because of its pivotal role in several related fields, all of which underwent crucial change in this period. The QMS was part of the wider Settlement movement which arose in the 1880s as part of the contemporary ‘rediscovery of poverty’. In the new thinking about the ‘organic’ nature of society, Settlements were a response to the alienation from each other of the urban social classes. The initial aim of the Settle­ ments was to restore the social balance within poor areas by enabling University students to live in Residences as neighbours to the poor; in time many Settlements developed a strong interest in educating workers to understand the conditions they encountered.

  • Carnival and Other Festivity in Scotland in the Nineteenth Century
    Carnival and Other Festivity in Scotland in the Nineteenth Century JOHN BURNETT Introduction: Approaches to Carnival In Medieval Europe carnival was one of the turning points of the year, beginning at the end of the Christmas season and finishing immediately before the self-denial of Lent. In the face of the impending privation, people consumed food and drink in large quantities, and a range of festive activities was enjoyed in public places. Carnival is a complex phenomenon that varies from place to place and over time, and it has attracted extensive attention from ethnologists and cultural historians. We can set out its central features. First, it was a period for indulgence in food, drink and sex: carnival was a feast of the lower body in contrast to Lent’s domination of the upper body and the mind (Bakhtin 1984: 368-436). Next, normal structures of power were inverted and rules were suspended: not only were all equal in the crowd, but for a few hours or days the idea of ‘the world turned upside down’ was acted out. In the late Middle Ages and Renaissance it was a festival when those in power might be openly criticised (Bristol 1985: 72; Muir 1997: 104-14). The adoption of roles led to the next characteristic, the use of masking and disguise. Finally, the whole thing was carried out in a crowd in which the individual’s identity was for a time subsumed in the mass. The various names of carnival characterise aspects of it. In England, carnival culminated on Shrove Tuesday, the day on which people were shriven, in other words when they made a confession before Lent.

  • The Words That Once Adorned the Walls of Bridgeton Working Men's
    The words that once adorned the walls of Bridgeton Working Men’s Club are appropriate as Bridgeton becomes the latest district in Glasgow to be named as a Conservation Area – an area of special architectural and historical interest. The original Club had been set up in 1865 by John Anderson, James Templeton and other members of the emerging industrial elite to create a place for working men – but not women – to relax, to be entertained and to learn. It contained a library and reading room, a chess room, billiard tables and even a bowling alley. Sadly the motto was not heeded and the Bridgeton Working Men’s Club was pulled down in the 1980s. This exhibition celebrates Bridgeton’s heritage in the hope that we learn lessons from the past and secure the future for Bridgeton’s unique architecture. Far left: The motto on the interior of the Working Men’s Club. Left: The 1899 Building Constitution Disposition.

  • The Story of the Clyde Canoe Club at Rosneath, Balloch & Cashel 1873–2013
    The Story of the Clyde Canoe Club at Rosneath, Balloch & Cashel 1873–2013 A Collaboration between The Clyde Canoe Club (now Loch Lomond Sailing Club) Balloch Heritage Group valeof leven.org.uk Background The Clyde Canoe Club has a long and distinguished history. Its intrepid group of founders started off at a clubhouse at Rosneath from where they embarked on a series of innovative exploratory trips off the west coast of Scotland as well as organising canoe sailing racing on the Gareloch and Clyde. After going into abeyance for a few years they re-formed, firstly on the River Leven at Balloch and then at Drumkinnon Bay also at Balloch but on the very southern shore of Loch Lomond. When forced to move from Drumkinnon Bay the Club moved further up Loch Lomond to their present home just north of Millarochy Bay in one of the most beautiful settings on the Loch. Their activities over the years are well documented in newspaper cuttings, minute books, log-books, plans of canoes and sail boats, personal reminiscences and an outstanding photographic record. Each generation of members left behind a mine of information and this was been collected by the Club Archivist, Roger Hancock. Of particular value was a history of the Club which had been prepared by a long-time member of the Club, Peter Turner, in 1982, and the photographic archive of the Yuile Family which was given to Roger by Peter Yuile. Balloch Heritage Group and the web-site of the Vale of Leven and its surroundings, valeofleven.org. uk, are delighted to have worked with Roger to have brought this fascinating story to a wide audience on the Internet.
