Remembering a boomtown Glasgow in the early 1700s

GLASGOW in the 1730s and early 1740s was something of a boomtown. Having been one of the places that hosted anti-Union riots in 1706-07, the city had embraced the Union and the House of Hanover, not least because of the possibilities of international trade. The town council could afford to build a new town hall, rich individuals like James Macrae, Governor of Madras, presented the city with adornments such as the first equestrian statue in Scotland, and the likes of Colonel William Macdowall made fortunes for Glasgow with the slave plantations growing sugar cane and tobacco, while early cotton imports only added to the city’s wealth.

The story of the Battle of Falkirk II, 275 years on

Prisoners being led away at the Castle of Doune after the Battle of Falkirk in the second Jacobite Rising TO read many accounts of the 1745-46 Jacobite rising, you would think there were just two battles. These are Prestonpans and Culloden; the former a stunning victory for Prince Charles Edward Stuart and his army, and the latter a devastating defeat that ended all hope of the Stuarts regaining the throne and which led to attempted genocide of the Highlanders. Yet, another major battle took place during the Rising – and it is often ignored, probably because it does not fit the Unionist-dominated histories of the period.
