| Abstract: |
This chapter considers the founding of the burgh, the laying out of the burgh and the emerging town plan, the homes of the burgesses and indwellers, the early royal presence in the burgh, the rural atmosphere in the medieval town, lifestyles in the town, the town market and the influence of the church. Burghs are first documented in Scotland early in the 12th century, although there is no doubt that a number of small settlements were already, before this time, exhibiting characteristics that might be defined as urban. Edinburgh may have been once such settlement. |
