  • Carron Company & Eastern Europe
    Carron Company & Eastern Europe The Export of Industrial Technology to Eastern Europe from Carron in the Late Eighteenth Century: Russia & Silesia Geoff B Bailey When the Carron Ironworks was established in 1759 Scotland was still a rural country. Despite the use of steam engines in a handful of pits, it was technologically backward and its inhabitants reflected the pre- industrial culture. They were ignorant unskilled workers, unwilling to adopt new working methods and content to earn enough to survive upon. There was no enterprise culture, except amongst its merchants, and there were no large manufacturing plants to compare with those in other countries. Scotland’s main chemical product, salt, was produced in a traditional manner organised as little more than a cottage industry. From its conception the Carron Ironworks relied upon foreign expertise. Even refractory bricks could not be made locally and like the hearthstones and timber axle for the water wheel had to be imported from England. Whilst Cadell saw to the day-to-day management of the works, the other two founding partners, Roebuck and Garbett, scoured England in search of the right sort of hard-working knowledgeable foundryman whom they tried desperately to entice northwards. William Downing, a carpenter, millwright and bellows maker was poached from a foundry in the Midlands along with his fellow countryman Thomas Bowne. They were told to bring only two of their workmen, as the intention was to “train Scottish labour for future use.” As was usual, they brought with them family members to help and Downing’s nephew was put in charge of the millwrights.

This deposit is a selection made from the archives of Russel and Aitken in Falkirk. It consists of material gathered by the firm while acting as executors, trustees, or liquidators in the course of its normal legal business, and of material brought together by James Russel sen, (1787-1858), James Russel jun (d.1860), and Henry Aitken (d.ca.1900), partners in the firm, in connection with their various mining and industrial undertakings. In the former category the papers relating to the Falkirk Gas Co and its successors, the Stirlingshire Midland Junction Railway, and the whaler ‘Juno’ are the most important, while in the latter the large series of bore journals and mine plans give a clear view of the geological knowledge of central Scotland (particularly of the south of West Lothian) in the mid 19th century. Also included are miscellaneous early charters, several business account books, and the papers of Dr John Aitken FRS, the meteorologist. The general arrangement is as follows: 1. Bore journals of Henry Aitken of Darroch (ca.1860-80), numbered series: 1. Armadale and others, including Polkemmet, Bridgecastle, and Hilderston (with some discussion of the silver deposits there). At the end is an analysis of Boghead Parrot.

This is part of the 2017 Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology which aims to inspire people to get involved in appreciating the history and culture of where they live. The school is adjacent to the Carron Dams local nature reserve which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). This site is the legacy of the Carron Company which existed here for 245 years as an integral part of our community as well as a manufacturer of national importance. On 8 and 9 December of this year, students from Larbert High will perform a piece of outdoor promenade theatre, celebrating the unique heritage of this site. Accompanied by music and lighting, students will re- enact key aspects of Carron Company’s history and legacy within the stunning setting of the Carron Dams. Through the project we hope to highlight the significance of the Carron Company and Dams and encourage the local community to visit and appreciate the area. We are delighted to invite you along to this performance on 8 and 9 December 2017. Tickets for this event are limited, although there are 5 performances each evening. Tickets can be purchased via the following link: https://billetto.co.uk/e/spark-and-grit-tickets-221247 Alternatively pupils can purchase tickets direct from Miss Waterfall in the English department.

  • Mystery Bench Restoration
    Stages in the restoration of the ‘Mystery Bench’ The large image below shows the original state of the better of two bench ends obtained by Lost Art. The top image shows detail of the bench end once cleaned. The middle shows the cleaned end with the addition of a carved replacement for the missing foot and the bottom picture shows a finished resin mould, ready to produce a pattern for the first casting of the new bench ends. Research by Lost Art revealed the origins of the Mystery Bench. The original drawing for this design was registered at the Public Records Office on 26th of January 1885 by the Carron Company, based near Falkirk in Scotland. Sometimes referred to as ‘The Coalbrookdale of the North’, this was a This included the famous huge company producing a diverse Carronade, a short naval cannon, range of iron goods. so effective in close quarter sea battles that it was nicknamed ‘the Unlike Coalbrookdale, seating did not Smasher’. feature highly in their product range, with many of their products being for military purposes. The images show the first casting taken from the pattern produced from the resin mould shown on the previous page. The skill of the pattern maker is demonstrated by the high definition of the casting produced and of course the fact that you ‘cannot see the join’ where the replacement foot has been added. The Carron ‘Mystery’ bench is exclusive to Lost Art and is now available to order. We have also produced a pattern for a central support which means that bench can be produced in a variety of lengths from a single seat to an 8 foot length and beyond according to your requirements.

  • A Loose Cannon
    A Loose Cannon A LOOSE CANNON: Charles Gascoigne in eighteenth century Russia Jana L Bara A new era of Anglo-Russian relationships in the early eighteenth century was heralded by the arrival of Ardrei Artamovich Matveev (1666-1728) in London. Matveev, who presented his credential in 1707, was the first permanent Russian diplomat at the Court of Saint James (Cross 1980, 5). From then on, the scope of Anglo-Russian relations expanded, and in 1734 the first commercial agreement between the two countries was duly signed (ibid, 10). By 1766, when the second commercial agreement was negotiated between the two countries, the Russian Empress, Catherine II, proved herself to be more an astute and clever negotiator than a cooperative trading partner. The history of economic and political interchanges between Russia and Britain in the eighteenth century is an interesting mixture of diplomacy and politics. During the eventful thirty-four years of Catherine II's reign, there were no less than six changes of Russian ambassadors in London. It was Semen Vorontsov (1744-1832), who played the most important role in our story. Vorontsov was Catherine's most famous ambassador in England. Appointed in 1785, he spent some forty-eight years there, playing an important role in many Anglo-Russian ventures. The Empress herself paid him a two-sided compliment by describing him as a "dangerous character" (Cross 1980, 23). Catherine the Great was well aware of the importance of developing relations, backed by a strong fleet of commercial and naval vessels. Intending to in- crease and modernise the Russian navy, she looked to the West, and particularly to Britain, for the necessary expertise (ibid, 15).

  • Lands and Lairds of Larbert and Dunipace Parishes
    LANDS AND LAIRDS LARBERT AND DUNIPACE PARISHES LANDS AND LAIKDS LAEBERT AND DUNIPACE PARISHES JOHN C. GIBSON With Illustrations GLASGOW: HUGH HOPKINS I 908 PREFACE. THE idea of the following work was suggested to me some years ago by Mr. George Sherriff of Carronvale, who is a considerable heritor in the parish of Larbert. It had long been a wish of his to have a history written of the principal lands and their owners in his own parish, and in the neighbouring one of Dunipace. 1 35S I 33 Mr. Sherriff has been most assiduous in his endeavours to collect local information and traditions. He has also read the proofs, and has taken special trouble in connexion with the article on the Carron Company. It is right to mention here that he has also generously taken the risk of the publication on himself; indeed, but for him, the work would never have been attempted. I take this opportunity of recording my best thanks to Miss Sherriff for her beautiful and artistic sketches, which have been so admirably reproduced by Messrs. T. and R. Annan and Sons of Glasgow. I also wish to express my thanks to all who have in any way helped me in my work. I feel specially indebted to Dr. Maitland Thomson, the late Curator, and the Rev. John Anderson, the present Curator of the Historical Department of the Register House ; Sir James B. Paul, Lyon King of Arms, and Mr. Francis J. Grant, Lyon Clerk ; Mr. David Morris, Town Clerk of Stirling, for his courtesy in showing me the Stirling Records ; my friend, Mr.
