Synopsis

This book details the history of Glasgow from the Scottish Reformation to the Glorious Revolution. It explores the era of economic, social, and political upheaval following the Reformation, including the transformation of the city's ecclesiastical lands and revenues, the rise of its medical and musical traditions, and the development of a mercantile class. The book also examines the struggle between Episcopacy and Presbyterianism, which culminated in the Civil War and the eventual overthrow of the monarchy. By examining the city's religious, social, and political changes, the author demonstrates that this period was one of both hardship and great progress for Glasgow.
