Old Photograph Farmer Herding Cows Through Cambuslang Scotland
Old photograph of a farmer herding cows through Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. A suburban town on the south eastern outskirts of Glasgow. It is within the local authority area of South Lanarkshire and directly borders the town of Rutherglen to the West. The manufacturing industries that grew up from the agricultural and mineral resources attracted immigrants from all over Scotland and Ireland and other European countries. Cambuslang benefited at all times from its closeness to the burgeoning city of Glasgow, brought closer in the 18th century by a turnpike road then, in the 19th century, by a railway. The Scottish Enlightenment was well represented in the person of Reverend Dr James Meek, the Minister. His troubles with his parishioners in Cambuslang foreshadowed the split in the Church of Scotland during the 19th century. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
