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. In addition to listing and describing the eighty-eight entries, significant elements of their individual production and their relationship to earlier surveys are detailed. The cartobibliography is preceded by a discussion of the history of the city’s mapping and some of the most important figures involved in Glasgow surveying. A concluding appendix seeks to be a comprehensive list of surveyors resident and working in Glasgow for the period, 1700-1855. 3 LIST OF CONTENTS Page Chapter One: Introduction 8 Chapter Two: The Mapping of Glasgow 25 Chapter Three: The Town Plans of Glasgow 65 Appendix A: Small Scale Plans 205 Appendix B: Glasgow Surveyors, 1700-1855 208 Bibliography 221 4 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS Figure 1: A Plan of Glasgow, 1773 by Charles Ross opp. p. 14 Figure 2: Detail from Plan of the City of Glasgow, 1778 by John McArthur opp. p. 15 Figure 3: Advertisement from The Post Office Glasgow Annual Directory, 1841-42, p. 173 indicating Alexander Dick’s range of land surveying chains opp. p.44 Figure 4: Plan of part of the City of Glasgow, 1764 by James Barrie (S.R.O.

Somehow other matters seemed more important at the time but I would like to record my sincere thanks to her for that original planting of the seed and her continued inspiration. Anyone who has dealings with the cartography of Scotland quickly realises the contribution she has made to the subject and I would like to acknowledge my debt to her and the staff at the Map Library for all their help over many years. I also recognise the invaluable encouragement of Dr. Jeffrey Stone of the University of Aberdeen who first gave me support. I hope that his placed trust has not been misfounded. Inevitably, I have made demands on the time, effort and goodwill of the staff of several map collections. In particular, I have asked much of the unsung heroes, and more especially heroines, of the library world who fetch and carry and seek to find the answer to all those irritating enquiries which need a specific answer. I have received courtesy, assistance and service wherever I have turned which has confirmed a genuine pride in my profession. My sincere thanks are due to the staff of the Glasgow Room, the Mitchell Library for their patience and forbearance; to the staff of the Library of the Royal Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow for permission to consult the Hill Collection; to Francis Herbert, Map Librarian at the Royal Geographical Society, for his suggestion to visit thereby saving me the omission of two maps; to the many staff at the British Library who made every effort to facilitate my brief period of study there despite the organisational problems my requests may have caused and to Fiona Tait and the staff at Birmingham Central Library for their assistance in consulting the Boulton and Watt papers. I wish to thank the University of Glasgow for the granting of two weeks study leave to allow me to travel in pursuit of several unique maps. My colleagues in Glasgow University Library have had to endure much discussion of maps, Glasgow history and the formatting of text on word processors. They have kept me as level headed as I am likely to be and have never tired of my inability to comprehend things at the first telling. My supervisor, David Forrest has had the difficult task of overseeing a member of staff from another department as a part-time student in a subject totally different from the mainstream of departmental research. He has provided support and advice and kept me on the right track. Finally and most importantly, I want to thank my wife, Fiona and daughter, Susan for their understanding, patience and support. I hope they share my delight in belonging to our family. 6 AUTHOR’S DECLARATION The results presented here are entirely the product of the author's own researches on the subject. No portion of the work referred to in this thesis has been submitted in support of an application for another degree or qualification in this, or any other, institute of learning 7 Lord, Let Glasgow Flourish by the Preaching of Thy Word and the Praising of Thy Name. (Motto of the City of Glasgow taken from the Tron Church bell, cast in 1631.) "An old map, like an old almanack, is seldom thought worthy of any particular notice; still, there is something in this record of the former extent and bearings of the city which, for the present, may entitle it perhaps to be looked upon as forming an exception to the rule. It does not indeed carry us back to a very remote period of our civic existence; but it possesses, nevertheless, a considerable degree of interest - enabling us, as it does, to judge at a glance of the great activities which have been at work during the last seventy years in promoting the extension of the city, and in conveying the grasp of this second Tyre over hill and plain to the southward and the west." Views & Notices o f Glasgow in Former Times, 1847, p. 114. 8 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Scope This thesis considers the maps and plans that depict Glasgow during the period between 1764 and 1865. Each plan which illustrates either the whole or a significant sector of the city is discussed and listed in chronological order up to and including the first "editions” of the large scale maps of the Ordnance Survey. These later maps give a picture of the urban form immediately prior to the major changes of the City Improvement schemes in the mid-1860s. This was a watershed period for the Improvement Trustees systematically removed the tenements of the former mediaeval old town and destroyed all but a few of the buildings there, radically altering the street pattern. Given this major change in the layout of the city, 1865 is felt to be a more appropriate cut-off date than an arbitrarily chosen year. The significant sector of the city is taken to be a street delineation greater than a minimum of Glasgow Cross and its radiating thoroughfares (High Street, Gallowgate, Saltmarket and Trongate), combined with some part of the River Clyde, at a scale larger than 1: 30000 (or 1": 2500 feet). Selection is further restricted to depictions which propose to display the city alone and not those showing Glasgow within its regional setting. This decision is intended to include as wide a range of town plans as possible but, inevitably, has led to the exclusion of several street, ward or smaller area, and district maps. Sheets prepared by antiquaries which purport to show the city at a much earlier period than their date of compilation are not included.

  • Waste Water Transformed Into Heat Energy Abstract 1. Introduction
    Waste water transformed into heat energy Authors: Konstantinos Ninikas 1, Nicholas Hytiris 1, Rohinton Emmanuel 1, Bjorn Aaen 1, Paul L. Younger 2 1 Glasgow Caledonian University, UK. – 2 University of Glasgow, UK. Abstract This study investigates the feasibility of utilising ground water ingress into the Glasgow Subway system. At present this unused excess water is being discharged into the city’s drainage system as waste. This valuable resource could be channelled through a Water Source Heat Pump (WSHP) to produce heat energy for domestic or public use (heating and domestic hot water). A study has been carried out in order to calculate the heat contained in the water. Water flow and water temperature have been recorded over a ten month period (since May 2014) at fifteen different points within the network of underground tunnels. Water sampling has also been undertaken at all of these points, with chemical analysis results for six of them already obtained. The measurements will continue for at least seven more months to have readings for an 18 months period. A feasibility study to review the number of support factors (i.e. Renewable Heat Incentive) that could profit the subway system has been undertaken as well. Options have been discussed and a selection of a site inside the tunnels for a pilot system has been decided and is due to be installed in June 2015. The findings of this study are expected to develop an appropriate renewable solution through a cost effective heat pump system design. This waste water will be collected and used as renewable energy.

  • Overview of Allocated Funding
    Overview of allocated funding A combined total of £979,625 has been awarded to 116 community groups and workplaces through the Cycling Friendly programme with a further £821,991 awarded to registered social landlords across Scotland for improvement facilities to promote walking and cycling. More than 90,000 people will benefit from the funding. Setting Number funded Amount funded People impacted Community groups 48 £536,737 Data not collected Employers 68 £442,888 27,500 Social housing 33 £821,991 62,119 providers Total 149 £1,801,616 89,619 Kath Brough, Head of Behaviour Change at Cycling Scotland said: “We’re delighted to announce funding to 149 organisations across Scotland to encourage more people to cycle. Cycling Scotland work closely with partners to help employers, community groups and housing associations take advantage of the benefits of cycling and this round of funding will provide opportunity for over 90,000 people across Scotland to access improved cycling facilities.” Elderbank Housing Association, based in Govan, Glasgow, will receive £25,000 to install cycle parking for the 2,700 residents living across their properties, where currently there is no cycle parking. Jim Fraser, Estate Management Inspector, said “lack of storage has been a key issue for residents, especially those in older tenement buildings, so installing bike parking will remove a significant barrier to the uptake in bike ownership and cycling as a healthy activity. Govan is well established as an area of high deprivation and residents can often be found to have low household income and higher levels of household debt. This can impact greatly on people’s ability to access public transport beyond a limited geographical area and frequency due to a lack of sufficient finance.

  • Old Mines and Mine Masters of the Monklands” British Mining No.45, NMRS, Pp.66-86
    BRITISH MINING No.45 MEMOIRS 1992 Skillen, B.S. 1992 “Old Mines and Mine Masters of the Monklands” British Mining No.45, NMRS, pp.66-86. Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1992. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.45 OLD MINES AND MINES MASTERS OF THE MONKLANDS Brian S. Skillen SYNOPSIS The Monklands lie east of Glasgow, across economically worthwhile coal measures, which have been worked to a great extent. Additionally to coal it proved possible to work a good local ironstone. Mushet’s blackband ironstone proved the resource on which the Monklands rose to prosperity in the 19th century. A pot pourri of minerals was there to be worked and their exploitation may be traced back to the 17th century. Estate feuding provides the first clue to the early coal working of the Monklands. In 1616, Muirhead of Brydanhill was in dispute with Newlands of Kip ps. Such was the animosity of feeling, that the latter turned up at the tiny coal working at Brydanhill and together with his men smashed up Muirhead’s pit head.1 It is likely that Muirhead’s mine had answered purely local needs and certainly if mining did continue it was on this ephemeral basis, at least until the mid 18th century. The reasons are easy to find, fragile local markets that offered no encouragement to invest in mining and a lack of communications that stopped any hope of export. In any case the western markets were then answered by the many small coal pits about the Glasgow district, including satellite workings such as Barrachnie on the western extremity of Old Monkland Parish.
