Description
Old Kirkintilloch explores the rich history of this Scottish town, situated at the heart of a transport network that thrived during the 18th and 19th centuries. The construction of the Forth & Clyde Canal and the Monkland & Kirkintilloch Railway made Kirkintilloch an ideal hub for trade with Scotland's cities and local industries such as mining and iron-founding. The town's industrial past is revealed through stories of local businesses like Mavor & Coulson and the Star Foundry, while homes at Lanfine and Broomhill provide a glimpse into another significant employer in the district. The village of Waterside also features prominently, showcasing many interesting sights from Kirkintilloch's history. This book offers a fascinating look at the town's development and growth during this period, shedding light on its role as a transport hub and industrial centre.
