Abstract: |
The book provides a synthesis of existing knowledge on historic Kilsyth in North Lanarkshire, charting the development of the town from the late 1500s, through the elevation of Kilsyth to a burgh of barony in 1620 and the subsequent expansion of the `new town', serving as a market and a centre of the textile industry, and outlining the urban growth of the Victorian era and the rapid changes of the last century. The authors look at the archaeological potential of key sites in the town, with the aim of providing guidelines for more detailed research and for the conservation of Kilsyth's heritage in relation to future development. Includes a glossary of technical terms. |
