The Early Modern Town in Scotland
Author: Michael Lynch
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000394565
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Originally published in 1987, this volume filled a notable gap in Scottish urban history and considers the place of Scottish towns in urban life during the 16th and 17th Centuries. The first part of the book is based on studies of individual burghs (Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Perth) drawing extensively on archival material. The second part includes a discussion of the pressure put upon the burghs by the town between 1500 and 1650, a process which contributed to the destruction of the medieval burgh and examines the burgh during the Scottish Revolution. The impact of war and plague on Scottish towns in the 1640s is also analysed and much emphasis is given to the relationship between town and country.

Water is Best
Author: Alastair J. Durie
Publisher: John Donald Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
"In the mid-nineteenth century a new system of water treatment, called hydropathy, arrived in Britain, and nowhere did it take stronger root than in Scotland, where the setting in attractive locations provided an ideal environment for relaxing and revitalising. The appeal of the curative regime, which involved baths, showers and massage, was enhanced in the Scottish hydros by a firm emphasis on temperance, diet, fresh air and exercise. This made the hydros, with their remarkable architecture, favoured places for respectable holidays, and they were loyal supported by the middle classes." "This study examines the enthusiasts and practitioners who ran the hydros, the personnel and patients, the visitors and guests, and looks at why the Scottish hydros became so successful whereas the Scottish spas faded. The book will appeal to those interested in medical history, tourism and social history."--Jacket.
