Dunfermline The Post War Years is a pictorial record of the life and times of the City and Royal Burgh as it emerged from the years of austerity and rationing after World War Two. Bert McEwan's carefully researched and highly illustrated work looks at the events, buildings and personalities that shaped the development of the city from generation to generation in the 20th century into the new millennium. The people of Dunfermline have a right to be proud of the historical background on which the city is founded and which makes it a tourist attraction. Yet it is through the endeavour of its workers, shopkeepers and industrialists that Dunfermline has been able to maintain its position in Scotland as a desirable place to live, work and indulge in recreational activities. This book looks at all aspects of modern life in the city, including housing, health, industry, heritage and sport. It will be essential reading and reference for everyone who lives in the city and has experienced half a century of transformation. Dunfermline: Post-War History 2nd Edition.

Tour Scotland Glasgow Photography Book


Tour Scotland Glasgow Photography Book. The Spirit of Glasgow. When Glasgow was designated the 1990 European Capital of Culture, it seized the opportunity to invest heavily in both creating culture as well as celebrating what already existed.The result is that the city is now the third most visited in the UK, after London and neighbouring Edinburgh. But despite carefully dovetailed efforts to market its history and its modernity, this complex cosmopolitan city is as much a mystery as it ever was. Glasgow celebrates its sardonic humour through the likes of Billy Connolly and Rab C. Nesbitt, and its architectural genius through Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It is full of united patriotic fervour yet is fiercely divided by loyalties to its two principal football teams. It is being developed, especially along the Clyde waterfront, at breakneck speed while it steadfastly hangs on to the memories of its founding fathers. Its transport system, especially its road network, panders to the twenty-first century need for speed and carves its elevated way through the very centre of the city, giving travellers an eye-level view of graceful elderly
facades of monumental buildings constructed when the automobile was still a rarity. Seen through the lens of unrivalled photographer Andy Stansfield, Glasgow is a European Capital of Contrasts. It is this dramatic juxtaposition of ancient and modern which dominates his photographic record of recent visits to the city
capturing the true spirit of Glasgow. The Spirit of Glasgow.

Glasgow from the Air covers the period from 1930 to 2005 in a series of black and white and colour photographs of almost every part of the city. A large number of the photographs have been drawn from the collection of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. Others come from the Mitchell Library, and there are also rare Royal Air Force Reconnaisance shots taken during WWII. Descriptive text accompanies the aerial views, along with ground photographs that illustrate key points. The book is divided into eight chapters, with each one covering a different area of the city. The aerial views enable the discovery of surprising links between unconnected areas, as well as revealing large areas of green that we never knew existed. They also give a telling perspective on the impact of new developments, such as the M8 and the Clyde Expressway, which slashed through the city wiping out most of old Townhead, Cowcaddens, Finnieston and Anderson. Spanning 75 years, these incredible photographs clearly highlight the architectural and structural changes that have taken place in Glasgow over the decades. Glasgow from the Air: 75 Years of Aerial Photography.

Historic pubs, most of them now demolished, feature along with legendary theatres like the Empire and Citizen's. Landmark buildings are also to the fore: Glasgow University, Glasgow Cathedral, the city chambers, Rogano Oyster bar, Glasgow Bridge among them. We are also given insights into the lives of Glasgow's people, from prosperous businessmen to the denizens of the slums, which, despite Glasgow's huge wealth were among the worst in Europe. Many great photographers are represented, among them true pioneers of the art like George Washington Wilson, Thomas Annan, James Craig Annan, Bert Hardy and Haywood Magee, as well as exponents from prominent publications like The Scotsman, Daily Record, Sunday Mail and Picture Post. No expense has been spared in the production of this beautifully designed book. It is a quality hardback with a full-colour cover. and all of the photographs are presented on the highest quality 'glossy' art paper.

Hadrian's Wall is the largest, most spectacular and one of the most enigmatic historical monument in Britain. Nothing else approaches its vast scale: a land wall running 73 miles from east to west and a sea wall stretching at least 26 miles down the Cumbrian coast. Many of its forts are as large as Britain's most formidable medieval castles, and the wide ditch dug to the south of the Wall, the vallum, is larger than any surviving prehistoric earthwork.Built in a ten-year period by more than 30,000 soldiers and labourers at the behest of an extraordinary emperor, the Wall consisted of more than 24 million stones, giving it a mass greater than all the Egyptian pyramids put together. At least a million people visit Hadrian's Wall each year and it has been designated a World Heritage Site. In this new book, based on literary and historical sources as well as the latest archaeological research, Alistair Moffat considers who built the Wall, how it was built, why it was built and how it affected the native peoples who lived in its mighty shadow. The result is a unique and fascinating insight into one of the Wonders of the Ancient World. The Wall: Rome's Greatest Frontier.

William Wallace. Man and Myth. William Wallace (c. 1274 to 1305) is a legend. The champion of the independence of Scotland, defeated by Edward I and eventually hung, drawn and quartered in London, he is revered to this day as Scotland's foremost patriot. Since his death, the Wallace story has been one to inspire, and the cult of Wallace has travelled far beyond Scotland itself, helped by Hollywood. Yet Wallace's life is still a mystery. The sources are few and have been grossly distorted over seven centuries through ballads, penny histories and poems This book, based on the original research by Scottish historian Graeme Morton, is the first to fully examine both the contemporary sources that are available and the way the many strands of the Wallace myth have been constructed, communicated and appropriated from his death right up to the present day. William Wallace: Man and Myth.

Sir William Wallace of Ellerslie is one of history's greatest heroes, and one of its greatest enigmas, a figure whose edges have been blurred by myth and legend. Even the date and place of his birth have been mis-stated. This biography tells of a man who, without wealth or noble birth, rose to become the Guardian of Scotland. It describes the heroism and betrayal, the valiant deeds and attrocities, and the struggle of a small nation against a brutal empire. William Wallace: Brave Heart.
