Historic Kirkintilloch : Archaeology and Development, Paperback / softback Book

Historic Kirkintilloch : Archaeology and Development Paperback / softback

Part of the Scottish Burgh Survey series

Paperback / softback

Description

This survey offers an accessible and broad-ranging synthesis of the history and archaeology of Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire, and aims to inform conservation guidance for future development.

Kirkintilloch lies at a key point in Scotlands central belt.

Here, by accident of geography, the Antonine Wall, ancient and modern route ways and the Forth and Clyde Canal pass within yards of each other.

Here also, iron founding was added to the linen and cotton weaving industry giving Kirkintilloch an important role in Scotlands nineteenth-century economic development.

The town has benefited from archaeological investigations in advance of development, and those designed to enhance our knowledge of the Antonine Wall.

The authors consider where the areas of archaeological potential lie, in order to inform future management of Kirkintillochs historic environment, and pose questions about the evolution of Scotlands burghs.
