66. Playfair & Nimmo I came across your article on the history of Bridgeton when I was looking forinformation on john playfair and Alexander Nimmo. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gordon.adams1/GlasgowHistory/Other Sections/Can You

May, 2005 - Noel P. Wilkins - noel.wilkins@nuigalway.ie I came across your article on the history of Bridgeton when I was looking for information on John Playfair and Alexander Nimmo. You mention a Mr. Nimmo sinking a sandpit near Newlands house. Can you indicate a date for this? The Nimmo I am interested in was Alexander Nimmo, 1783 - 1832 (born in Kirkcaldy) and I was wondering if "your" Nimmo could also be "my" Nimmo who was an engineer? Unless your man worked during about 1814 to 1832 it is unlikey to be my subject. Can you enlighten me and let me know? Best wishes , Yours sincerely, Noel P. Wilkins Updated for 1st August, 2005.

Jpg: Traditional Fine Art Online Jpg: Webshots From: Traditional Fine Art Online Mrs. William Playfair was exhibited to great acclaim at the Royal Academy in 1887 and at the 1888 Paris Salon. The sitter (nee Emily Kitson, 1841-1916) is shown wearing a sumptnous yellow satin gown and a fur-lined, dark green velvet cloak. Set against an abstract background of deep red, she is ready to step out wearing distinctive jewels and carrying a fashionable fan and evening bag. As the fully mature forty-six-year-old wife of England's most prominent obstetrician and the mother of five children Emily Playfair appears solid and secure in her position and wealth. Yet she is also shown by Sargent as disarmingly relaxed, smiling with twinkling eyes and an open moutha pose unusual for a woman of her social standing."

William Henry Playfair ARCHITECT More than any other architect, Playfair was the man who earned Edinburgh its label, "the Athens of the North". His classical buildings, many on dramatic sites, adorn the city, and lend the physical environment a stature and dignity that is unique in Britain. Playfair was the leading influence in the shaping of Edinburgh's architectural soul. He was born in London, the son of the architect James Playfair, and as a boy came to live in Edinburgh with an uncle, Professor John Playfair. On qualifying as an architect, Playfair built a considerable private practice in Edinburgh before designing, in 1820, Royal Terrace, Carlton Terrace and Regent Terrace, in the New Town . His most important works include the Royal Scottish Academy, the National Gallery of Scotland, New College and Assembly Hall, the Royal College of Surgeons, Donaldson's Hospital, Advocates' Library and the National Monument on Calton Hill. He also enlarged the Old College of Edinburgh University following the death of Robert Adam

He was a dancing master and theatre owner, a scholar of Greek and Latin, a poet and translator. But for our sakes, he is remembered as a pioneer in the making of that indispensable tool for the modern traveller, the road atlas. Despite being ridiculed by English poets and literary standard-makers John Dryden in MacFlecknoe and Alexander Pope in the Dunciad, Ogilby was put in charge of the poetic part of the coronation ceremony of Charles II by the king himself. Following the great fire that destroyed most of the city of London in 1666, Ogilby set up a printing shop, calling himself the "king's cosmographer and geographical printer." He produced many notable, illustrated volumes including Britannia...A Geographical and Historical Description of the Principal Roads thereof (1675), considered a landmark in accurate road description.
