Tour Scotland Photograph And Video Kenmore Church

Tour Scotland photograph of the church in Kenmore, Perthshire, Scotland. Built in 1760 by architect E. William Baker, it partly incorporates the walls of the earlier 1669 Kirk. It was then remodelled in the 3rd quarter of the 19th century. Its tower was heightened drawing greater attention to it. It must have been a difficult time for the people of Kenmore during the upheaval of the Reformation. Their Church had been served for over a hundred years by “Vicars” saying mass in Latin. Although few could have understood the service it was for them the only form they knew. Then came the great change. William Ramsay was put “ in possession of the Manse and gleib land occupied in times past by the Vicars ”, but stayed only a short time. He was followed bya Reader, Duncan Maclagan. After the Reformation,the Church did not have sufficient ministers for all the parishes in the land and there was a particular shortage of ministers able to speak in the Gaelic tongue. So we find in 1574 that one Duncan Macaulay became minister not only of Kenmore but of Fortingall, Dull, Weem, Foss and Grantully as well. From all accounts he worked very hard to give his parishioners a sound knowledge of the scripture, and it was during his incumbency that the new Church was built on the site of the present building, after the laird had led a petition of the parishioners to have a new Church at Kenmore.

Old Photograph Springburn Scotland

Old photograph of Springburn, Glasgow, Scotland. Springburn developed from a rural hamlet at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Its industrial expansion began with the establishment of a chemical works by Charles Tennant on the newly opened Monkland Canal at nearby St. Rollox in 1799, which later became part of the United Alkali Company. Later in the 19th century the construction of railway lines through the area led to the establishment of Railway works and the village became a parish in its own right. The Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway first opened in 1831 to supply the St. Rollox Chemical Works and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway was opened in 1842. Later, the City Union Line was extended to Springburn in 1871 and the Hamiltonhill Branch Line opened in 1894. Initially located outwith the Glasgow boundary, the area was eventually absorbed by the City of Glasgow Corporation in 1872.
