Saw this and thought it would be of interest. Doesn't sound too far off.

Hi Annette,

This does look interesting! Are they actually talking about putting the poorhouse applications, etc. that they hold at The Mitchell online...or am I misunderstanding the article? I tried the link to look for more information but couldn't get it to work so put in only the first part and it seems to be a commercial site rather The Mitchell? ...but it would be great if they did put all the records online...it would be like SP...I'd never be off it?

Regards,
Anne H

Andrew Jackson ceased to be the City of Glasgow archivist some years ago..............

It's always been the intention at some point to make at least the index available on-line but I haven't heard any mention of this for a long while.

I wondered about that too but noticed the date at the bottom of the page.

I'll ask next time I'm there.

It would be interesting to hear what you find out Annette.

I left a bit more in the link this time and it came up Rossbret's update and some great information on the workhouses. http://institutions.org.uk/workhouses/s ... otland.htm
