We must give them an education, large, liberal and comprehensive’. Catherine Vale Whitwell
This article was provoked by the author’s conviction that its subject was a great deal more significant than a marginalised woman on the fringes of Owenism, the reformist movement promoted by Robert Owen during the early nineteenth century. It examines the life of Catherine Whitwell, formally identified in studies of Owen and in histories of education as teacher cum artist in the school at New Lanark, Owen’s factory community in Scotland, and als…

Historic Tourism to New Lanark and the Falls of Clyde 1795–1830. The Evidence of Contemporary Visiting Books and Related Sources
New Lanark and the falls of Clyde, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, show the coincidence of picturesque and industrial tourism in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Made famous by Robert Owen (1771–1851), the social reformer, the factory village of New Lanark attracted many visitors from Britain and abroad. This article examines early visitor data, typologies, origins, occupational profiles, motivations, and visitor experiences. A high prop…
The New Lanark Highlanders
This article discusses an example of Highland-Lowland migration in the early stages of industrialization. It addresses the origins, timing and quantity of Highland migration to New Lanark and in doing so highlights some migratory mechanisms, including temporary, step-wise, kin and chain migration. Moreover, it explores how Gaelic language and culture, together with religion, were sustained over a considerable period after this migration. In doing…
'The Darker Side'
The findings of this paper suggest some parallels with Rude's conclusion for England that acquisitive crime tended to respond to short-term economic factors, such as falls in wages or higher prices, whereas more serious or violent crimes were not so closely linked to economic factors. As in England and some parts of Europe there was a general decline in offences against the person. There was a great deal more anti-authoritarian crime than previou…
Scottish Criminals and Transportation to Australia, 1786-1852
Using legal and convict records in Scotland and Australia this paper reviews the convict and transportation systems operated in Scotland during this period. Transportation was never such a significant weapon in the fight against crime as elsewhere in Britain, though it became commoner as criminal prosecutions rose after 1815. Around 8,000 men and women were transported to New South Wales, Van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania) and other parts of Aust…
Industrial Archaeology in the British Isles
A comprehensive survey of industrial archaeology in which the authors emphasise two vital points: that industrial archaeology cannot be separated from its historical, economic and social context; and that it cannot be constrained to the period after 1700. It covers a wide range of topics and features: an introduction to the subject, its scope, sources and techniques; power - water, steam, etc; agriculture and processing; textiles; metallurgy and …
Industrial Archaeology in Australia
Industrial archaeology has made rapid progress in Australia since the 1960s and is attracting increased attention in universities, museums, and conservation agencies. Although practice and methodology are still evolving, a remarkable amount has already been achieved in recording Australia's industrial and technological heritage. Some of the most dramatic survivals are being conserved, but the scope for future work is considerable.

A History of the Brewing Industry in Scotland
Sources of Capital and Capitalization in the Scottish Brewing Industry, c. 1750-1830
Sources of Capital and Capitalization in the Scottish Brewing Industry, c. 1750—1830
T he formative years in the development of the Scottish brewing industry coincided with the classic Industrial Revolution between 1770 and 1830. The industry was well established by the middle of the eighteenth century, a number of important firms being founded about 1750. Capital found its way into Scottish brewing from various sources, mainly from agriculture and commerce. Merchants were among the leading groups of investors, which also include…
Scottish windmills
An outline of the history, development and distribution of Scottish windmills introduces an interim inventory of known survivals and a select list of documented sites. Of the 100 or so mills built between 15th and 19th cents, about forty remain but are in various states of disrepair; the only comparable restored example is in Co Down. The peak of building activity, in late 18th and early 19th cents, was due to a boom in cereal production combined…
