In the Georgian period, from the Act of Union between Scotland and England in 1707 and Queen Victoria coming to the throne in 1838, Scotland changed from being a largely rural country, with many small townships, to an urbanised country dominated by its four major cities, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee. However, this transition also took place through a period of planned village development in parallel with the planned extensions of the cities. The planned village movement took place on a very signiﬁcant scale with some 426 listed in a publication by the Scottish Historical Society and a shorter, more selective list of 120 published in the Age of Improvement in Scotland. This book is a compilation of visual material, including photos, engravings and maps illustrating the planning of Georgian Scotland including the main cities and 50 exemplars of Georgian planned villages in Scotland.
