In presenting to their Subscribers and tbe Public, the present Edition of the Post Office Dundee Directory, the Publishers beg very respectfully to return their grateful acknowledgments to those gentlemen who so courteously furnished them with much useful information on various local matters, and to the public generally for the liberal patronage bestowed upon them. As it has been suggested that a Street Directory is desirable, and should have formed a feature of the present Volume, the Publishers beg to state that they had that matter under their consideration when they commenced their labours, but, for several reasons, they have deemed it expedient to publish the Work in its present form this year ; but, should they be induced to resume their labours next year, or at a subsequent period, the desideratum of a Street Directory will then be supplied.

It is due to the Public to state that, in order to procure informa- tion for the " City " portion of this Directory, from Five to Six Thousand Schedules were issued, for the purpose of being filled up by the Inhabitants. In transcribing these Schedules, the utmost care was taken to preserve the exact address and orthography of Name which had been given; and, still farther to preserve the accuracy of the Work, the ' whole of the Names, after they had been put into type, were again, at a large sacrifice of time, care- fully compared, one by one, with the original Schedules. The " County " Directory, which forms an important part of the Work, has been made up from returns furnished, in almost every instance, by the Schoolmasters of the respective Parishes. To the Gentlemen who have thus so kindly assisted him, the Publisher gladly embraces the present opportunity of returning his most grateful thanks. The short delay which has occurred in getting the Work issued, has been as much a disappointment to the Publisher as it can have been to his Subscribers. To those of them, however, who may have been incommoded by the delay, he begs to offer a respectful apology, and to assure them that, from the complicated and laborious nature of the Work, (this Directory being an entirely new compilation), the delay was found to be quite un- avoidable.

  • (2019) Churchill's Defeat in Dundee, 1922, and the Decline of Liberal
    Tomlinson, J. (2019) Churchill’s defeat in Dundee, 1922, and the decline of liberal political economy. Historical Journal, (Accepted for Publication). There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/192576/ Deposited on: 9 August 2019 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Churchill’s defeat in Dundee, 1922, and the decline of liberal political economy JIM TOMLINSON University of Glasgow Churchill’s defeat Abstract: This article uses Churchill’s defeat in Dundee in 1922 to examine the challenges to liberal political economy in Britain posed by the First World War. In particular, the focus is on the impact of the war on re-shaping the global division of labour and the difficulties in responding to the domestic consequences of this re- shaping. Dundee provides an ideal basis for examining the links between the local politics and global economic changes in this period because of the traumatic effects of the war and on the city. Dundee depended to an extraordinary extent on one, extremely ‘globalised’ industry, jute, for its employment. All raw jute brought to Dundee came from Bengal, and the markets for its product were scattered all over the world. Moreover, the main competitive threat to the industry came from a much poorer economy (India) so that jute manufacturing was the first major British industry to be significantly affected by low wage competition. Before 1914 the Liberals combined advocacy of free trade with a significant set of interventions in the labour market and in social welfare, including Trade Boards.

  • Does Red Clydeside Really Matter Anymore?
    Christopher Fevre 100009227 ‘Does Red Clydeside Really Matter Any More?’ Word Count: 4,290 Red Clydeside, described aptly by Maggie Craig as ‘those heady decades at the beginning of the twentieth century when passionate people and passionate politics swept like a whirlwind through Glasgow’ is arguably the most significant yet controversial subject in Scottish labour and social history.1 Yet, it is because of this controversy that questions still linger regarding the significance of Red Clydeside in the overall narrative of British and more specifically, Scottish history. The title of this paper, ‘Does Red Clydeside Really Matter Any More?’ has been generously borrowed from Terry Brotherstone’s interesting article in Militant Workers: Labour and Class Conflict on the Clyde 1900- 1950.2 Following a decade in which the legacy of the Red Clydesiders had been systematically attacked by revisionist historians agitated by contemporary attempts to link the events on the Clyde with those occurring in Russia in 1917, Brotherstone emphasised the new and developing common sense approach to the Red Clydeside debate. It was argued that ‘A new consensus seems to be emerging... which acknowledges the significance of the events associated with Red Clydeside, but seeks to dissociate them from what is now perceived as the ‘myth’ or ‘legend’ that they involved a revolutionary challenge to the British state’. However, as a consequence of the ever changing nature of Red Clydeside historiography it is now time for a re-assessment of the significance of Red Clydeside which incorporates new research into the rise of left-wing politics in Scotland more generally.

  • Stewart2019.Pdf
    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

More investment is being put into the life sciences and tech sectors, creating industries that will attract attention and bolster Aberdeen’s economy. Established sectors will also receive investment from schemes promoted by Aberdeen City Council, to grow Aberdeen into an area in the North East for business. Together this will ensure that Aberdeen’s economy becomes more productive and utilises the industries it currently has. Aberdeen Profile Aberdeen is a port city in the North East of Scotland and has long been known for its flourishing oil and gas industry. This has resulted in the city becoming the third most populated in Scotland with 196k people living in the city and 228k living in the council area. Known for its grey granite architecture, the city is home to two universities with the University of Aberdeen being the fifth oldest in the world. In 2018 it was found to be the best UK city to start a business, given the array of sectors and investment going into supporting new and existing companies. 3 Economic Overview Aberdeen’s economy has been dominated by the oil industry but has seen new sectors emerge due to the success from oil and gas.

  • Westwood's Parochial Directory for the Counties of Fife and Kinross
    ^ National Library of Scotland BOOO 192299* 'WESTWOOD'S PAEOCHIAL DIRECTORY FOR THE COUNTIES OF FIFE AND KINROSS, CONTAINING THE MIES AND ADDRESSES OF GENTRY, AND OE PERSONS IN BUSINESS, e^c. CUPAR-FIFE: A. WESTWOOD. EDINBURGH : JOHN MENZIES. jJM^. A. WESTWOOD, PRINTER, CROSS, CUPAR. PREFACE. In introducing to the public the First Edition of the Parochial Directory of Fife and Kinross, the Publisher begs to state that the work has been in contemplation for several years ; and that nothing but a deep sense of the labour and responsibility attending such an undertaking, has prevented its earlier appearance. Now, that the intention has been matui'ed, he hopes that his labours will be generally appreciated. The Publisher expects that a work of such general utility as a Parochial Directory for the two Counties, will commend itself to the patronage of the public. Indeed, the interest taken in the under- taking, and the assistance so heai'tily rendered by all classes, place its success beyond a doubt ; and he embraces this opportunity of returning his thanks to those gentlemen who gave their aid in getting up the various Parochial Lists, and correcting the Proofs, In particular, he begs to express his special thanks to William Patrick, Esq., Assessor of Lands and Heritages for the County of Fife, who most matei-ially lessened his labours by placing at his disposal the Valuation Rolls made up by him ; and otherwise tendered such help as only one having a thorough knowledge of the County could give. The Publisher is aware that, although every effort has been made to secure such a measure of accui'acy as to make the undei-taking worthy of the two Counties, some typographical and other errors will be found in the body of the work ; but he hopes that they will not interfere with its general usefulness ; and he rests satisfied that those who can best appreciate the difficulties attending the getting up of such a work, will be the most ready to overlook those minor faults which could scarcely be avoided in the first issue of such a publication.

  • George Lansbury and the Middlesbrough Election of 1906
    A. W. PURDUE GEORGE LANSBURY AND THE MIDDLESBROUGH ELECTION OF 1906 The different elements which came together to form the Labour Representation Committee1 in February 1900 were, when it came to party organisation, at once its strength and its weakness. Labour was not in the position of a totally new political party having to build up a political machine from scratch, rather the LRC was able to utilise and build upon existing organisations: these were the Independent Labour Party, the Fabian Society, those trade unions which supported the LRC, and trades councils throughout the country (the Social Dem- ocratic Federation disaffiliated from the LRC after little more than a year's membership). At both a local and a national level, however, these organisations were often hostile to each other, jealous of their independence and suspicious of attempts by the LRC Executive2 to control them. The early history of the LRC in the North East of England has many examples of the result- of these divisions within the Labour movement. In 1902 the Labour movement in Jarrow and the NEC had been hopelessly split over the question of whether Alexander Wilkie, Secretary of the Shipwrights' Union, or Peter Curran, General Organiser of the Gasworkers' Union, should be LRC candidate for Jarrow. This was much more than an inter-union squabble as Curran was a socialist and leading ILPer while Wilkie was a moderate trade unionist pre- pared to work closely with local Liberalism; Curran's adoption was therefore a victory for the more militant forces within the Labour movement. Many trade unionists in the North East who supported the LRC were opposed to a complete break with Liberalism and especially wished to work harmoniously with the existing Liberal-Labour MPs.
