Hanson It is a World Heritage Site and Scotland’s largest ancient monument. The Antonine Wall Today, it cuts across the densely populated central belt between Forth (eds) and Clyde. In The Antonine Wall: Papers in Honour of Professor Lawrence Keppie, Papers in honour of nearly 40 archaeologists, historians and heritage managers present their researches on the Antonine Wall in recognition of the work Professor Lawrence Keppie of Lawrence Keppie, formerly Professor of Roman History and Wall Antonine The Archaeology at the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow University, who spent edited by much of his academic career recording and studying the Wall. The 32 papers cover a wide variety of aspects, embracing the environmental and prehistoric background to the Wall, its structure, planning and David J. Breeze and William S. Hanson construction, military deployment on its line, associated artefacts and inscriptions, the logistics of its supply, as well as new insights into the study of its history. Due attention is paid to the people of the Wall, not just the ofcers and soldiers, but their womenfolk and children.

  • 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.

  • Written Submission from Falkirk Council – Petition Pe1102
    PE1102/F WRITTEN SUBMISSION FROM FALKIRK COUNCIL – PETITION PE1102 1. Background 1.1 Falkirk Council, like many local authorities, is strongly opposed to the closure of post offices in the Falkirk Council area. The Council recognises the important social function that post offices have, and that for many individuals in our communities, the post office functions as the main village or local shop. These facilities are used largely by elderly people, people with young children and those with mobility problems to purchase essential items. 1.2 The Council has for a number of years used post offices to provide services such as rent collection etc. Since 1979, Falkirk Council has supported the local area Post Office Network through the facility for tenants to make payment of rent at post offices. This was extended to include council tax payments in 1996. Our contract is with the Alliance & Leicester. Payments are made through a service known as 'BillPay'. Payments are made using plastic payment cards issued by Falkirk Council which can be used to pay rent and/or council tax at the Council's One-Stop-Shops and any post office in the UK. This method of payment is 1 of 7 options that are available to our customers. 1.3 As a result of the development of more efficient and convenient methods of payment, e.g. by Direct Debit, via the Web and by telephone, and the reduction in the Council's housing stock through the right to buy, the number of payment transactions made at post offices has reduced year on year over the past 10 to 15 years.

  • Inventory Dep.240 Messrs Russel and Aitken Stored at CB, Phase 1
    Inventory Dep.240 Messrs Russel and Aitken Stored at CB, Phase 1, Level2 Dep.240/1-31 is at GB National Library of Scotland Manuscripts Division George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW Tel: 0131-466 2812 Fax: 0131-466 2811 E-mail: [email protected] © Trustees of the National Library of Scotland Papers from the archives of Messrs Russel and Aitken, Writers, Falkirk. 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.
