@BCCletts I know this one ๐Ÿ˜‰

@BCCletts So technically Scotland was paid ยฃ100,000 to take on a share of England's ยฃ20m debt - & that's not what the debt would translate as now - literally ยฃ20m worth of debt as of 1707.

@BCCletts Apparently that's the equivalent of almost ยฃ2.1 billion today...

@bevy_de Cosmo Innes (1861), 'Sketches of Early Scotch History', is pretty in depth with the ecclesiastical institutions, universities & a couple of big families.

@bevy_de James Grant (1880), 'Old and New Edinburgh', makes for an excellent read and where my pinned #TreatyOfUnion tweet is from. Only volume 1 of 3 uploaded so far.

@bevy_de Donald McLeod (1892), 'Gloomy Memories', is a complete run down, from witness testimony, of the #Clearances from a Sutherland native. Being a later edition it includes newspaper articles from Canada showing their disgust with the British authorities.

Anyone with curiosity about this needs to search my available posts for "Debt", "Revenue" & "English Debt" to call forth some interesting articles too ๐Ÿ˜‰

See how Scotland has bn under-funded & over-taxed for centuries since the #TreatyOfUnion

This article in particular - Financial Cost to Scotland of the Union - Harry Gow's contribution to 'Scots Magazine', Sunday 1st March, 1891.

@PlanetBGlasgow @tradougcions 'Scots Lore' (1895) was a magazine run from Bothwell St, Glasgow. Lots of random information in there.

randomscottishhistory.com/scots-lore-189โ€ฆ
@PlanetBGlasgow @tradougcions โ€˜Memorial Catalogue of the Old Glasgow Exhibition 1894โ€™ (1896) is fantastic for old letters, manuscripts & images of varying sites around Glasgow. There's one in particular at the top of Buchanan st @ Sauchiehall st but all that's there is a cottage.

randomscottishhistory.com/2018/08/02/memโ€ฆ
@PlanetBGlasgow @tradougcions โ€˜Select Views on the River Clydeโ€™ (1830) is just what you assume from the title. Plenty of information about the history of each town the author passes through.

Why ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ's law don't gel with ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ's, hence the #TreatyOfUnion demanding our laws remain separate. This letter was written in as a huge debate on English Courts taking jurisdiction over Scottish one's was in progress due to Orr Vs Ewing inheritance case.

#ScotRef #JustifyTheUnion
From the Xmas edition of the 'Scotsman', 1883. Our lawyer and correspondent extraordinaire, Thistledown, makes the implications of an #EnglishUsurpation of #ScottishLaw clear.

#ScotRef #JustifyTheUnion #DissolveTheUnion #SameOld
From the same Xmas edition of the 'Scotsman' we have a fan of Thistledown's, I believe he probably had many at this point (he can count me in), making the distinction between ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ & ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ clear.

@delboy1978uk Working tonight so l'm passing out but I'm sure they're easily found. It was pretty interesting that there seemed to be nothing in Sept 1878, then investigations in Oct 1878, and by the start of Feb 1879 the verdict was read (unanimously guilty) & everyone involved was in jail.
@delboy1978uk Ok so, I'd taken more articles than I'd thought. The jailing of the #GlasgowBankers really interested me. If anyone would lik any of the articles in this thread typed up for an easier read, let me know.

From the 'Glasgow Herald,' 2nd of October, 1878 we have this:
@delboy1978uk According to the 'Glasgow Herald,' 25th of October, 1878, the #BankOfGlasgow goes into liquidation.
