The Story of Scotland’s Towns
Edinburgh: John Donald, 1989 First edition. Black cloth, gilt, 18 maps, 93 bw ills, index Pagination: xi, 181. The Story of Scotland’s Towns is the story of planned towns long before Town Planning Departments had ever been dreamed of. Scotland’s oldest towns were ‘new towns’ of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, located on sites chosen over a wide area of the country and laid out according to well conceived plans.<P>Inspired by H A Rendel Govan and Sir Frank Mears, architect, Rober Naismith has spent a great part of his life studying evidence of planned towns going all the way back to the burghs of David I. Despite inevitable changes, the combined ravages of history and nature, the towns which have survived have nearly all retained their original framework. The renowned Sir Patrick Geddes commented that the buildings of medieval towns may be shattered or destroyed but ‘their influence continues’.<P>Robert Naismith charts the centuries of destruction and rebuilding which saw the emergence of stone building and the second age of town building, in the eighteenth century, when classical geometry supplanted organic planning.<P>Naismith then studies the increased pace of the nineteenth century when manufacturing industry and railways overturned classical serenity and Victorian energy filled the High Streets with mixed architectural styles and promoted spas, parks, monuments, churches, tenements, miners’ rows, mills and museums.<P>This book provides a wealth of information for the general, non-specialist reader at the same time creating a fascinating backdrop to the story of Scotland’s towns. Contents: Maps: Edinburgh twelfth-thirteenth century; Elgin twelfth century; Forres twelfth century; Montrose twelfth century; St Andrews twelfth century; Perth twelfth-thirteenth century; Lanark twelfth century; Dumfries twelfth-thirteenth century; Arbroath twelfth century; Dundee twelfth-thirteenth century; Crail twelfth-thirteenth century; Wigtown late thirteenth century; Leith 1560 and later; Inverary seventeenth-eighteenth century; Keith eighteenth century; Eaglesham eighteenth century.
