Scottish Culture - Edinburgh 1830 to 1850

Expert: Thomas H McIntyre - 10/7/2009

Question
Mr. McIntyre, my GGG Grandfather was born in Edinburgh around 1830, Edinburg is a big place and is made up of smaller areas. Are there any resources you are aware of that can help be better understand the lay of the land and the culture in that time period?

Thanks. Dave Carr

Answer
Dave thanks for the question. I have been affliated with the University of Edinburgh and the STAR project for years so I have to reccomend to you its Scottish History Department. I am sure there are plenty of people in that department that would love to help you. If you want to write the address is: The Secretary, Scottish History, School of History, Classics, and Archaeology, The University of Edinburgh, 17 Buccleuch Place, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH8 9LN. If you want to try e-mail its scottishhistory@ed.ac.uk. Thats the best source for the question you posed.
Thank-you;
Thomas H McIntyre
