Jewish heritage in Scotland sharman kadish The Referendum on Scottish independence in September 2014 and the sweeping gains made by the Scottish National Party in the General Election in May 2015 provided pause for thought about the relationship between the Jewish communities that live in the five territories that make up the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. On the level of semantics, we must now studiously avoid using the term “Anglo”- Jewry with reference to British Jewry because the pundits consider it outdated.1 Popular usage of the term Anglo-Jewry persists, as a glance at the Wikipedia entry on “British Jews” shows. (I leave aside the whole 1 See Nathan Abrams, Caledonian Jews: A Study of Seven Small Communities in Scotland (Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2009), Introduction. Jewish Historical Studies, volume 47, 2015 179 180 sharman kadish debate about the reality of the “Jewish community” as opposed to a series of “communities” as beyond the scope of this investigation.) American Jews also use the term “Anglo-Jewish” to refer to themselves in the sense of “English-speaking”, while Jews from English-speaking countries who have settled in Israel call themselves “Anglos” or even “Anglo-Saxim”. Perhaps “British” Jewry should also be avoided, not least because it no longer includes “Irish” Jewry, that is the Jewish community living south of the Republican border.

  • 1 Sauchiehall Street
    Sauchiehall Street: A Great Glasgow Thoroughfare This tour tells the story of Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow’s most famous street, and its buildings. The street has been a major residential, entertainment and shopping centre since the 19th century and stretches over 1½ miles from Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the West End to Buchanan Galleries in the City Centre. At its heyday, at the turn of the last century, it would have teemed with trams, horse-drawn carts, bicycles, and pedestrians. The number and scale of buildings richly demonstrate Victorian Glasgow’s place as the ‘Second City’ of the British Empire. The important thing is to look up and enjoy the city’s architectural riches! ------------------------------------- 1. The tour begins at the junction of Sauchiehall Street and Argyle Street at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (J. W. Simpson and E. J. Milner Allen; 1891–1901), one of Glasgow’s most popular destinations. It was the centrepiece of Glasgow’s International Exhibition in 1901 and is sited in Kelvingrove Park (1850s). The elaborate building with its towers, buttresses, corner pavilions and cupolas is Spanish Baroque in style. Notice the richly carved decorative and figurative sculpture by George Frampton, William Birnie Rhind, and McGilvray & Ferris, among others. The building’s rich red sandstone is a distinctive feature of late Victorian Glasgow, as improved production techniques and rail links provided access to quarries beyond Glasgow, notably south-west Scotland. Kelvingrove (free admission) houses one of the UK’s finest civic art collections, including work by Mackintosh and his contemporaries. 2. Walk along Sauchiehall Street past the bowling greens towards the city centre (to your left as you face away from Kelvingrove).

Earlier depictions of town layout are of great value in an interpretation of urban patterns and their development but their use needs to be based on an understanding of their original purpose, the ability of the cartographer and their correct dating. In the past, many false assumptions have been made about such documents and this research seeks to correct many of these.
