The Ancient Old Govan Stones at Old Govan Parish Church Scotland

Govan Carved Stones, Scotland
This afternoon, I am posting a video clip of most (not all) of the unique collection of circa 9th/10th centuries AD carved stones located in Govan Old Parish Church, Govan, Glasgow. These include :
-The largest group of Viking Age hogback tombstones in Scotland which imply racially mixed marriages and great secular power.
-Two cross shafts and the cross slabs known as the 'cuddy stane' which may have been used as teaching aids by the early Christians.

Viking and Early Christian Relics: 1000 years old Govan Stones in Scotland, UK
This video is about the Viking and early Christian archaeological burial relics the Govan Stones housed in the Govan Old Parish church in Govan, Glasgow in Scotland on the bank of the River Clyde. Stained glass and 300 year old gravestones are also seen. Some of the stones are known as Hogback stones due to their overall shape although the carving on the back is quite ornate. The Hogbacks are thought to perhaps represent the houses the deceased viking lords may have lived in.

Old Photographs Of Cathcart Glasgow Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Cathcart, Scottish Gaelic: Coille Chart, an area of Glasgow between Battlefield, Mount Florida, King's Park, Muirend and Newlands. Originally part of the Burgh of Govan in Renfrewshire, most of the ancient parish was annexed by the City of Glasgow in 1912. Cathcart is served by Cathcart railway station on the Cathcart Circle Line. The old parish church was from an original design in 1923 by Clifford and Lunan, but completed 1928 by Watson, Salmon and Gray. Linn Park is a large park surrounded by the suburbs of Cathcart, Simshill and Netherlee on the southern fringes of Glasgow, where the city borders East Renfrewshire. It is Glasgow’s second largest park, after Pollok Country Park. Both parks have the White Cart Water flowing through them. Linn House was built in 1811 for Reverend James Hall, who a short time later became bankrupt resulting in the house and estate being put up for auction on behalf of the creditors. James Hall's wife, Mary Maxwell, separately owned adjacent land at Bogton which was the subject of a legal action by the creditors against her, which was determined at the Court of Session in January 1814. The mansion and surrounding estate was sold again in 1820..

Glasgow is a port city on the River Clyde in Scotland's western Lowlands. It's famed for its Victorian and art nouveau architecture, a rich legacy of the city's 18th–20th-century prosperity due to trade and shipbuilding. Today it's a national cultural hub, home to institutions including the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and National Theatre of Scotland, as well as acclaimed museums and a thriving music scene.
Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, and third largest in the United Kingdom. Historically part of Lanarkshire, it is now one of the 32 council areas of Scotland. Glasgow is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands. Inhabitants of the city are referred to as Glaswegians.
Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Britain. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, Glasgow became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. From the 18th century the city also grew as one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies.
With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the population and economy of Glasgow and the surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of chemicals, textiles and engineering; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was the Second City of the British Empire for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period, although many cities argue the title was theirs.
Glasgow hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games and is also well known in the sporting world for the football rivalry of the Old Firm between Celtic and Rangers. Glasgow is also known for Glasgow patter, a distinct dialect that is noted for being difficult to understand by those from outside the city.
Glasgow has a large urban transport system, mostly managed by the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT). The city has many bus services; since bus deregulation almost all are provided by private operators though SPT part-funds some services. The principal bus operators within the city are: First Glasgow, McGill's Buses, Stagecoach West Scotland and Glasgow Citybus. The main bus terminal in the city is Buchanan bus station.
Glasgow has the most extensive urban rail network in the UK outside of London with rail services travelling to a large part of the West of Scotland.

Old Photographs Of Port Glasgow Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Port Glasgow, Scottish Gaelic: Port Ghlasch, the second largest town in the Inverclyde council area. The town was originally named Newark but due to ships not being able to make it all the way up the shallow river Clyde it was formed as a port for nearby Glasgow in 1668 and became Port Glasgow in 1775. Port Glasgow was home to dry docks and shipbuilding beginning in 1762. The town grew from the central area of the present town and thus many of the town's historic buildings are found here. Port Glasgow expanded up the steep hills inland to open fields where areas such as Park Farm, Boglestone, Slaemuir and Devol were founded. This area has subsequently become known as upper Port Glasgow and most of the town's population occupies these area. The grid pattern of the streets in the town centre was laid out in 1694 and took advantage of the flat area of raised beach. The grid pattern remains largely intact today, consisting of Princes Street, King Street, Bay Street, Fore Street, John Wood Street, Church Street and Scarlow Street. Star Hotel in Port Glasgow was built and owned by Mr Denniston of Greenock and was formally opened on 16th August 1870. The tenant Mr William Shaw entertained the provost and magistrates of Port Glasgow to an elegant luncheon to mark the opening where Mr Adam Patterson proposed a toast to the new hotel and noted it was about 30 years since the town had a first class hotel. Newark Parish Church was built in 1774, it is the oldest remaining church in Port Glasgow sited on the axis of Balfour Street. It is an austere, symmetrical 2 storey building with 5 windows in the long walls. The church was built in rubble and to a largely Classical design and has pavilion roofs and galleries. In 1920-22 the square apse was built to be an organ chamber. It was altered and refurbished to become a chancel by Mervyn Noad of Glasgow. There was excellent woodwork and stained glass by Archibald Dawson and Charles Bailey but this was removed some time ago. A steeple for the centre of the north front was always intended but was never built. The south side features a relatively new brick extension. The church congregation was forced to unite with another in recent years, resulting in this church closing down. Newark Castle stands very close to the shore of the Clyde, and dates to around 1484. It was home to the Maxwell Family until 1694.

The Govan Raid
The Govan Raid from Jamie Dempster
On the 29th July 2011 a raid was staged across the River Clyde in celebration of the reuniting of the Parish of Govan with the new ferry service across the Clyde.
Local children made special costumes ready to stake their claim to the territory occupied by the new Riverside Museum.
Govan is unique in the UK in having a parish boundary that extends across a river. This link goes way back in history to a time when Govan was home to the Kings of the Kingdom of Strathclyde in the 7th & 8th centuries. This royal court had it's palace on the 'Partick' side of the river and their Church and Parliament on the Southside.
Govan Old Church still occupies the site of this ancient church and the world-famous sculptured stones (visible in the present-day church) date from the 10&11th centuries.
Until 1850 a massive flat-topped hill called Doomster Hill stood near the church --this was the site of the parliament and court of justice of the Strathclyde kings. Today the Riverside housing scheme sits on the site of Doomster Hill.
Two sets of flags have been created for the Raid. One has images from Govan's history while the other depicts details of the area today. One set of flags was planted on the south side before crossing the Clyde to plant the second set outside the Museum.
The Govan Raid is supported by Glasgow Housing Association
