The Journal of James Wilson
In the nineteenth century many farmers kept a diary of the farming year to record such features as the weather, crop yields, animal husbandry, and prices. Research into church and people in the parishes of Fordyce and Portsoy in North East Scotland led to the discovery of a four-volume journal kept by James Wilson, a farmer in the Banffshire Parish of Deskford between 1879 and 1892. This journal provides a detailed picture of many aspects of rura…
The Social Composition of the Cathedral Church of St Mungo in Late Nineteenth-Century Glasgow
This paper looks at the social composition of the Cathedral Church of St Mungo in Glasgow. As one of the very few remaining physical features of Glasgow’s medieval past and is, as claimed by Iain Macnair, ‘the finest remaining building of medieval Scotland’.1 This impressive building, 283 feet long, 62 feet wide with a spire of 250 feet, has withstood the many threats to its continued existence, notably during the Reformation, which brought about…
The Barony and the Churches of Late Nineteenth Century Glasgow
The Barony Parish Church was one of the most important churches in nineteenth century Scotland partly due to its history, size, and location at the heart of the “second city” of the Empire and its Minister, Norman MacLeod.

When compared with othe…

Church and Society in Aberdeen and Glasgow, c . 1800– c . 2000
This article discusses the relationship between Church and society in Aberdeen and Glasgow, c . 1800– c . 2000, with specific reference to levels of church attendance and membership, alongside the social and gender composition of church membership. Despite contrasts in economic development, both cities experienced a sharp decline in levels of church attendance. However, this decline was partly offset by an expanding membership in suburban areas s…

Presbyterianism and Social Class in Mid-Nineteenth Century Glasgow
Writing in Past and Present in 1964 Henry Pelling commented: The influence of the churches on the working class in nineteenth century Britain is a subject which has long aroused sporadic interest among political and social historians, but which has apparently lent itself more readily to hasty generalisation than to detailed investigation for its own sake
