Sinossi
Unlike many other small villages in the UK, Lesmahagow has many claims to fame, and many of its sometime residents have taken up influential roles in the history of the nation. Andrew C. Scott&;s family lived in the village for more than 300 years, and in this book he explores the fascinating story of this unassuming settlement. More than 400 million years ago the earliest fishes swam in its lagoons together with giant sea-scorpions. The fossils of these amazing creatures are famous worldwide. The coals, formed from peats when the area lay across the equator, fueled a number of revolutions in energy supply. Important to Scott is not simply the industrial ecology, but the networks of families and people who made the local community. Inventors from Lesmahagow designed new machines such as the pedal bike, and experimented with innovative industrial developments at New Lanark, bordering Lesmahagow on the River Clyde. The end of the 19th and early part of the 20th century saw the remarkable increase in schooling for all the children of the village, inspired by one teacher in particular&;Matthew Glover. His own children, James and Edward Glover, went on to distinguish themselves in the new academic discipline of psychology. However, it is one class of 1924 that catches the eye with three boys going on to distinguishing themselves, two becoming knights of the realm and one becoming a cabinet minister. Another village boy, John Cairncross, is best known as the fifth Cambridge spy. Given its extraordinary legacy in the arts, the sciences and in the world of politics, Lesmahagow may well claim to be a village that changed the world.
