Indeed the presence of Doomster Hill and the round shaped graveyard of Govan Old Parish Church would suggest that there was a community long before the Romans arrived. The ecclesiastical history of Govan dates back to the early monastery founded by Constantine around 565 AD. Constantine was a contemporary of Columba and Kentigern.

The village grew as new trades and crafts were established such as weaving, silk During the 68 years from 1836 to 1904, manufacture, pottery, and the dyeing of Govan expanded dramatically from a village cotton.

It may have been used by the Romans and others to guard and tax any movement of people or goods crossing the river.

    Talking Gothic! What Do We Mean by Gothic Architecture and How Can We Identify It?

    Talking Gothic! What do we mean by Gothic architecture and how can we identify it? ‘Gothic’ is the name we give to a style of architecture from the Middle Ages. It is usually thought to have begun near Paris in the middle of the 1100s and, from there, it spread throughout Europe and continued into the 16th century. There are many marvellous examples of Gothic buildings throughout Scotland: from Elgin Cathedral in Moray, through amazing buildings like Glasgow Cathedral, Paisley Abbey and Edinburgh St Giles, down to Melrose Abbey in the Scottish Borders. All of these, and more, are well worth a visit! Gothic architecture developed from an earlier style we call Romanesque. Buildings made in the Romanesque style often have rounded arches on their (usually comparatively small) windows and doors, thick columns and walls, lots of ornamental patterns, and shorter structures than the buildings which came later. Dunfermline Abbey is a great example of a Romanesque building in Scotland. The people who paid for the earliest Gothic buildings expressed a wish to transport worshippers to a kind of Heaven on Earth by building higher and brighter churches. What emerged is what we now describe as Gothic. Fashions changed throughout the time that Gothic was the predominant style, and it also varied from place to place. However, the Classical revival made popular as part of the Italian Renaissance largely replaced the Gothic style, and it wasn’t fashionable again until the 19th century. During the Romantic Movement Medieval literature, arts and crafts enjoyed renewed popularity. As a result, Glasgow Cathedral was begun in the Gothic elements can be seen today in the churches, public buildings, and late 12th century and was at the hub of the Medieval city.

    AQ041 Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee Inquiry into air quality in Scotland Written submission from Barry Watson I live in Castlemilk in Glasgow about 4 miles from the City Centre in a Multi Storey at about 110 metres above sea level. I am an Elder at Castlemilk Parish Church which is an Eco-Congregation. My interest in Air Quality is not so much that it is a specific local environmental issue; but in what I have observed from my bedroom window which is north facing, in certain weather conditions, especially during early mornings in the Autumn and Winter. The horizon from this Window is the Kilpatrick Hills and the Campsies and I can also see Ben Lomond which is 32 miles away. On Autumn and Winter days when there has been a clear sky overnight and the sun is at a very low angle, a light brown mist is visible which can obscure the Campsies and the Kilpatrick Hills, which I would estimate to rise to about one or two thousand feet (by reference to what I can see on a clear day. This mist is very difficult and technical to capture on camera and sometimes it is opaque rather than light brown. I tried on a number on number of occasions and the most successful was on 24 October 2016. I have also included a reference Image taken on 14 July 2016. I shared these image with Emilia Hannah, of Friends of the Earth Scotland who I understand has already attended the Committee.

My object in issuing this volume is to present in a handy form the various matters of interest clustering around the only historic building in our midst, and thereby to endeavour to supply the want, which has sometimes been expressed, of a guide book to the Old West Kirk. In doing so I have not thought it necessary to burden my story with continual references to authorities, but I desire to acknowledge here my indebtedness to the histories of Crawfurd, Weir, and Mr. George Williamson. My heartiest thanks are due to many friends for the assistance and information they have so readily given me, and specially to the Rev. William Wilson, Bailie John Black, Councillor A. J.

The Story of The Old West Kirk The Church In a quiet corner at the foot of Nicholson Street, out of sight and mind of the busy throng that passes along the main street of our town, hidden amidst high tenements and warehouses, and overshadowed at times by a great steamship building in the adjoining yard, is to be found the Old West Kirk.
  • Church and Community in Later Medieval Glasgow: an Introductory Essay*

    Church and Community in Later Medieval Glasgow: an Introductory Essay*

    Church and Community in Later Medieval Glasgow: An Introductory Essay* by John Nelson MINER** Later medieval Glasgow has not yet found its place in urban history, mainly because most writers have concentrated on the modern, industrial period and those historians who have devoted attention to the pre-industrial city have failed to reach any consensus as to the extent of its modest expansion in the period circa 1450 to 1550 or the reasons behind it. In this study, the specific point is made that it is the ecclesiastical structure of Glasgow that will best serve towards an appreciation of the total urban community. This central point has not so far been developed even in the use of the published sources, which have to be looked at afresh in the above context. L'histoire urbaine ne s'est pas jusqu'ii maintenant penchee sur Ia situation de Glasgow au bas moyen age; en effet, Ia plupart des travaux s'interessent avant tout au Glasgow industriel et les historiens qui ont etudie Ia ville preindustrielle n' ont pu s' entendre sur l'ampleur et les raisons de sa modeste expansion entre 1450 et 1550 environ. Nous af­ firmons ici que ce sont les structures ecc/esiastiques presentes ii Glasgow qui autorisent /'evaluation Ia plus juste de Ia collectivite urbaine dans son ensemble. Cette dimension pri­ mordiale n'a pas meme ete degagee du materiel contenu dans les sources imprimees, qu'il faut reexaminer en consequence. Modem Glasgow reveals as little of its medieval past to the visitor as it does to its own inhabitants.
