Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: This view of the High Street, looking eastwards towards the Tron Kirk, shows the site of the row of tenements totally destroyed in the great fire of 1824. The fire occurred in November, just two months after the Corporation (City Council) had approved the setting up of a municipal fire brigade. The new firemaster, James Braidwood, learned many valuable lessons from the conflagration which helped him to formulate principles of fire-fighting still applied today. The darker building directly beyond the Adam Smith statue in this photograph was the city's main fire station after the entire block was rebuilt.
