  • A Short History of the Glasgow Humane Society Complete with Contextual Historical Events, Newspaper and Minute Articles
    THE GLASGOW HUMANE SOCIETY A Short History of the Glasgow Humane Society Complete with contextual historical events, newspaper and minute articles Dr George G. Parsonage, MBE 8/1/2016 The following gives an idea of what the world was like at the end of the 1700’s, it tells of the foundation of the Glasgow Humane Society, of the Awards and Gifts given to the Society and of some of the main occurrences in its development. 1. The Glasgow Humane Society and Enlightenment: The Spirit of an Age The Glasgow Humane Society was set up by members of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow at some point in the 1790s. This period marked the latter stages of what has been came to be termed as the ‘Enlightenment’ or ‘Enlightenment movement’ by historians and other scholars alike. It is notable for many features but for the Glasgow Humane Society’s purpose it can be seen as a time when the influence of scholars and philosophers such as Descartes, Newton, Kant, Goethe, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Adam Smith – to name but a few – created in Europe a temperament in man for reason and self- improvement and moving away from religious intolerance and ignorance. At this previous time if you fell (or jumped) into a waterway and were in danger of drowning seldom would anyone go to your assistance. In the eyes of the church, if you attempted to take your own life, as many who jumped into the river no doubt had in mind, you were to end up in hell and suffer eternal damnation.

  • The Home of Scottish Heroes
    The home of Scottish heroes The Wallace and The Bruce—two of Scotland’s greatest heroes find their personal histories intertwined with Paisley and Renfrewshire. William Wallace, Scotland’s In 1315, Marjory was married to one Braveheart, was the son of an of Bruce’s most loyal lieutenants, Elderslie knight and reputedly Walter Fitzalan, the High Steward educated by the monks of Paisley of the King – a descendant of the Abbey. A monument to this hero of Walter Fitzalan who had founded the medieval Wars of Independence Paisley Abbey some 150 years stands in the village of Elderslie before. Legend has it that, on 2 today. A series of sculpted plaques March 1316, the pregnant Marjory around the monument depict was riding home to her husband’s the key moments in Wallace’s castle in Renfrew when she fell from extraordinary life. her horse. Her baby was delivered by caesarean section, but young Renfrewshire’s connections with the Marjory died—her death as tragic as other great hero of that time, King her life had been. Robert the Bruce, are more tragic.
