  • Cathcart Castle, Glasgow – Excavations 1980–81

    Open AccessBrian Kerr, B J Kerr et al.ARTICLEScottish Archaeological Journal2016

    Excavations on the site of the tower-house at Cathcart, demolished in 1980, produced evidence for the construction of the tower and associated barmkin, dated to the mid 15th century. No earlier structural remains were found but residual pottery suggests that the site was occupied prior to the construction of the tower. The interior of the tower was remodeled in circa 1630–40 in brickwork, an early dated example of the use of this material in Scot…

  • Framework and form: Burgage plots, street lines and domestic architecture in early urban Scotland

    Open AccessGeoffrey Stell, Robin Tait et al.ARTICLEUrban History2015Cited by: 4References: 5

    This article explores some of the ways in which the closely regulated layouts and property boundaries within Scottish medieval towns may have influenced the form and character of domestic buildings during the late medieval and early modern periods. Drawing together strands of scattered evidence from archaeology, morphology, history and architecture, it re-examines how plot boundaries, main thoroughfares and subsidiary access passages acted as sit…

    Geoffrey StellARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…1982

    In May 1975 the burgh and the county ceased to serve as the main agencies of local government in Scotland, and, with their passing, architectural historians can usefully begin to take full stock of the buildings that were designed or adapted to meet the needs of these long-established local authorities.Municipal architecture is best represented by the tolbooth or town house which, being at the hub of the public life of the burgh, tended to epitom…
