  • Eaglesham Cotton Mills Stuart Nisbet Introduction the Old Kirkton of Eaglesham Was Rebuilt from 1767 Onwards As a Planned Village
    RLHF Journal Vol.7 (1996) 5. Eaglesham Cotton Mills Stuart Nisbet Introduction The old Kirkton of Eaglesham was rebuilt from 1767 onwards as a planned village. Despite its rural situation, industry in the form of Cotton Spinning formed the basis of employment during the first century. Recent research has strengthened the industrial origins of Eaglesham, confirming the tradition of a second major Cotton Mill in the village. Until now there has been little data available regarding the first three decades of Cotton Spinning in Eaglesham. It was assumed that there was only ever the one Cotton Mill in the village, i.e. the mill in the centre of the Orry, which went on to be the main employer in the 19th century. The sole piece of evidence for another mill was in Robertson's Description of the Shire in 1818. Robertson made 3 claims: 1. That there were two Cotton Mills in the village. 2. Each mill had already been burnt down. 3. The mills had separate owners. Eaglesham's Mills At first glance Eaglesham appears to be a typical rural Renfrewshire Cotton Mill settlement similar, for example, to Lochwinnoch. With a 200 foot fall through the village and an expanse of waterlogged moorland above, Eaglesham would appear to have been the perfect location for a Cotton Mill. However this was not the case. Firstly, despite the almost unlimited head of water, finding level sites upon the fall proved to be very difficult. Secondly, and more importantly, the Kirkton Burn was the very last watercourse on which anyone would have conceived of building Cotton Mills.

    Community Council Meeting Updates Our focus….. Your priorities INTRODUCTION This report covers progress we have made in dealing with your priorities for the Eaglesham & Waterfoot Community Council area for the 5 week period 1st January to 7th February 2018. A list of these priorities is provided at the end of this report for your reference. This report aims to highlight emerging issues in your area, and to provide crime prevention advice and guidance to the members of the Community Council and to the residents that they represent. This document does not provide a comprehensive statistical breakdown of numbers of crimes reported as this does not provide any context for the reader. INFORMATION 1. Homes being broken into Acquisitive crime, and in particular thefts from domestic dwellings, remain high on our list of priorities due to the significant number of incidents that are occurring across East Renfrewshire. A considerable number of police resources are currently dedicated to investigating these crimes. One Attempted Housebreaking With Intent to Steal crime report has been recorded in your Community Council area. During the early hours of the morning on the 6th February a householder in Craighlaw Avenuw, Eaglesham, was awoken by the noise of person or persons attempting to break in to the house via the rear door, before making off. Enquiries are ongoing into this crime. A total of 11 individuals have been arrested since mid-January as part of a wide- ranging operation targeting an organised gang who have been committing crimes across the whole of Scotland. In addition to that a number of other arrests have been made by officers based locally in East Renfrewshire relating to thefts and/or attempted thefts.

  • Rural Wisdom Eaglesham
    Rural Wisdom Eaglesham Autumn/Winter 2017 www.ruralwisdom.org Rural Wisdom Eaglesham Autumn/Winter 2017 • 2 About Rural Wisdom Rural Wisdom is working with communities in Scotland and Wales to create opportunities for older people to shape their community. Our aim is to make communities work better for older people and the other people who live there. These are the outcomes we want to achieve: • More older people, and a more diverse range of older people, have a stronger voice. • Older people have the opportunity for more social connections in their communities. • There are more activities that are led by older people and are co-produced in the community, and older people get support from them. • People of all ages are part of creating communities that work well for older people. • Older people in rural areas are contributing to local and national policies and initiatives. I’ve lived here my whole life and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Neighbours are important here, you have to look after each other in a rural village. We have a good GP service but the journey to the health centre is a tricky one. It’s not that far away but there’s no direct transport. Rural Wisdom Eaglesham Autumn/Winter 2017 • 3 What we did Rural Wisdom is working alongside people living in Eaglesham and the rural areas around it. Over the summer we met with individuals and groups from across the area. We asked people what it was like to live and work in Eaglesham. We wanted to hear about things that were working well, things that could be better and what people wanted to contribute to their own communities.
