Last year, I made my first research trip to the NRS for a project I'm developing on early modern rights of way, with funding from the @royalhistsoc.org's David Berry Fellowship in the History of Scotland and the Scottish People. In this blog, I present some (very) early thoughts on this research.

Theatre Macabre is a nifty little series of short adaptations of classic spooky stories from writers as diverse as Poe, Robert Louis Stephenson, Dosteyevsky and Oscar Wilde and presented by a magnificently moustached Christopher Lee. Made in Poland, dubbed & all free to view on the internet.

A page from a book, printed in a reddish-brown ink. The top left contains a stylised papercut picture of a slightly scrawny, scraggly-looking fox. Beneath it is the text of the poem, “Fox’, by Ian Hamilton Finlay, published in GLASGOW BEASTS, AN A BURD, HAW, AN INSEKS, AN, AW, A FUSH, with papercuts by John Picking & Pete McGinn (The Wild Flounder Press, 1961):

The aim of John Revie’s Balmanno Street One-Place Study, just registered with us, is to focus on one street – Balmanno (or Balmano) Street in #Glasgow – and to reconstruct its community from its inception in 1792 until its final clearance and demolition in the 1960s. #OnePlaceWednesday

Balmanno Street One-Place Study.
Image: An extract from an old, large-scale Ordnance Survey map showing Balmano (a.k.a. Balmanno) Street, running North-South in the middle of the map extract - and surrounding streets in this built-up part of the City of Glasgow. Nearby streets include Paterson Street, Tarbett Street, Dean Street, Portland Street, Garden Street, George Street (running roughly East-West at the South end of Balmano Street) and Nicholas Street. In addition to lots of residential buildings, a church, two schools, and a public house.

Looking south along Queen Street, at the western end of George Square in Glasgow city centre. Image 1 from 2016, image 2 from today.

Google Street View looking south along Queen Street in 2016. A three lane road wraps around George Square, the main civic square in the centre of Glasgow. Cars and road space fills the image.

People sit amongst new street trees in a completely zero-traffic, renovated section of Queen Street, on the western end of George Square. This is the same view as the previous image.
