red in the records as trading with Glas-gow. Of these, six belonged to Glasgow, two to Pittenweem, one toAberdeen, and one to Dundee. They could not come near Glasgow, sotheir cargoes must have been brought up the river in small boats. In1609 there is reference in the Council records to a pier and port atBroomielaw, likewise orders are given against ballast being emptiedthere, and in the following year a proposal is made for taking away ofthe sands stopping the schippis and barkis fra in cumming to the town.From that time till now the deepening and improving of the river hasgone on, till to-day the harbour of Glasgow, with its vast docks anddozen miles of quays, is probably the most wonderful achievement ofthe kind. The development of modern Glasgow began shortly after the Unionof the Crowns. In 1611 James vi. made the city a royal burgh, andtwo years later added to it the lands of Rottenrow. It was not till theyear 1800 that the next additions were made, the lands of Ramshorn, Map 2.

Then, in thenineteenth century, small independent burghs grew up around it.The area of the ancient royalty is contracted along its southern base,and as this was the favoured locality for trading and commercial pur-suits, buildings spread over the borders on each side. On the east sideCalton was formed into a burgh of barony in 1817, and seven yearsafterwards another burgh of barony, that of Anderston, came intoexistence on the west. In the case of another populous district on thenorth-west—embracing the lands of the old barony of Blythswood—formation into a separate burgh was avoided by an Act of Parliamentpassed in 1830, which annexed it to the city. The burghs of Caltonand Anderston, and likewise the barony of Gorbals, had each their ownmagistrates and special Police Acts till the year 1846, when the wholeof these districts were included within the city. In 1872 and 1878s
