| CARLUKE [village] | Carluke | Rev[eren]d John Wylie Daniel Rankin Esq J.L. Stewart Esq John Hamilton Esq. |
019.13 | The village of Carluke has within a few years swelled into the size and assumed the importance of a thriving town its present population (1841) amoun= ting to 2125. It was erected into a burgh of barony in 1662 under the name of Kirkstyle. with the privelege of holding a weekly market and a fair twice in the year. This privelege so far as the weekly market is concerned has not been acted upon but the town is well supplied with shops for the sale of bread, butcher meat, and every other article of provision. The recent act for the establishment of municipal government in Scotch towns having been taken advantage of by Carluke as tax of sixpence a pound in house rent is levied for the purpose of supporting a few constables and of cleaning and lighting the streets. **** To those who are acquainted with the town and Parish of Carluke the former containing numerous streets of comfortable houses- the latter fully divided and in a high state of cultivation the following circumstances may convey an ides of the very rapid stride made by the neighbourhood. There is still alive an individual if not more who remembers since the village of Carluke contained only 4 cottages with the Kirk and Manse. ******* |
Transcriber's notes
There are symbols like X but with dots in each of the 4 interstices of the X. I have interpreted these as asterisks but they do not appear to refer to footnotes anywhere. They seem to fill the line to the RHS at the end of the paragraph. May have been a style adopted by the writer.
David Braidwood - The text between the two sets of Xs is in fact a footnote in the Statistical Account.
