<a href="http://www.theglasgowstory.com/index.php">Here</a> is an incredibly detailed history of Glasgow in pictures. The <a href="http://www.theglasgowstory.com/sitemap.html">site map</a> is probably the best place to start. <br /><br />Random interesting fact about Glasgow:
<a href="http://www.gypsyfire.com/Translation.htm">Saint Kentigern, also called Mungo, brought birds and cooks back to life</a> and it made the other monks so angry he had to depart for Glasgow, where he founded a monastery and became the first bishop.post:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.67002Thu, 29 Nov 2007 17:49:22 -0800winnaGlasgowphotographshistoricalphotographsBy: Flunkie

Awesome. I plugged in my street name and was given dozens of old photographs of it, several of which clearly show the spot where I live but a hundred years ago. Beyond spooky seeing all the long gone people standing yards from where I now sit. Thank you.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.67002-1930457Thu, 29 Nov 2007 18:42:31 -0800brautiganBy: languagehat

Fantastic. I love city histories and I've always had a thing for Glasgow, though I've never been there. Bookmarked.

I'd watch what you say, Flunkie. The sainted Kentigern can work that trick both ways. You could end up mungoed.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.67002-1930478Thu, 29 Nov 2007 19:01:01 -0800AbiezerBy: winna

I love saint's lives. I would do one on Saint Foy*, but there is a real lack of good links on her despite her entertaining story.
Medieval saints are probably in the top ten list of people you don't want to make angry with you.
<small>*Saint Foy's relics were stolen from Agen and brought to Conques by the monk Arosnide, who had infiltrated the monastery at Agen on purpose to steal the saint's body. He was reputed to have spent ten years at Agen until he was trusted with the keys to the reliquary, at which point he horked Saint Foy's bones and scuttled back to Conques. Saint Foy told him to, of course.</small>comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.67002-1930529Thu, 29 Nov 2007 20:34:24 -0800winnaBy: nímwunnan

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands. De Boteler took them within his own, and the yeoman said in a loud, distinct voice¡ª HoME²¨¶àÒ°´²Ï·ÊÓƵ ѸÀ×ÏÂÔØ Ñ¸À×ÏÂÔØ
