Dugald Stewart the noted Scottish mathematician and philosopher was born on November 22nd 1753 in Edinburgh.

Dugald Stewart was a Scottish philosopher and mathematician. Today regarded as one of the most important figures of the later Scottish Enlightenment.

The Scottish Enlightenment began in the mid 18th century and continued for the best part of a century. It marked a major shift from religion into reason. Religion had been influential in every part of Scottish life. A little over a hundred years before it resulted in a war between the Royalists and covenanters causing countless deaths in period known as the killing time, indeed during the Enlightenment the strict Calvinists Government meant some people were punished for crimes such as blasphemy.

Dugald’s father was a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, his mother Marjorie Stewart was the only daughter of Archibald Stewart, writer to the signet, so he had a good pedigree, he was schooled at Edinburgh high school from then entered the University of Edinburgh where he took an arts degree although he also attended courses in natural philosophy. On the advice of Adam Ferguson, Dugald Stewart spent one year in Glasgow where he attended the lectures of Thomas Reid. On his return to Edinburgh University he spent 13 years teaching mathematics.

In 1775 he was appointed joint professor of mathematics with his father. However, when Ferguson resigned as professor of moral philosophy in 1785 he was succeeded by Dugald Stewart who held the post for 25 years.

His writing included: Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind, published over 35 years in three volumes, Outlines of Moral Philosophy and Philosophical Essays.

Stewart left Scotland on a number of occasions to visit France. In 1806 for example he accompanied the Earl of Lauderdale in an attempt to negotiate peace with Napoleon. On a previous visit to the country, he had witnessed the outbreak of the French Revolution.

He spent much of his retirement at Kinneil House, Boness, a stately home owned by the Dukes of Hamilton since the 17th century.

My favourite wee story about Dugald Stewart involves other big hitters of the era like Dr Joseph Black, Professor Adam Ferguson, John Home and two other poets, Robert Burns, our national bard, and Walter Scott, famous for may poetic works as well as the Waverley series and Ivanhoe. I’m not sure about how Walter Scott had come to be at the meeting on Edinburgh Southside in Sciennes Hill House as he was only 15 at the time, but he must have been a bit star struck, these guys were the creme de la creme.

We know what happened, because Scott left several accounts of the meeting. Burns, it should be said, did not do so, but by then Burns was well on his way to fame and no doubt met many of Edinburgh’s literati in the Oyster Clubs and other clubs such as the Crochallan Fencibles Club, one of many he became a member of.

Scott recalled in 1827: “I was a lad of fifteen in 1786-7, when he came first to Edinburgh, but had sense and feeling enough to be much interested in his poetry, and would have given the world to know him; but I had very little acquaintance with any literary people, and still less with the gentry of the west country, the two sets that he most frequented.

“Mr Thomas Grierson was at that time a clerk of my father’s. He knew Burns, and promised to ask him to his lodgings to dinner, but had no opportunity to keep his word, otherwise I might have seen more of this distinguished man.

“As it was, I saw him one day at the late venerable Professor Fergusson’s, where there were several gentlemen of literary reputation, among whom I remember the celebrated Mr Dugald Stewart. Of course we youngsters sate silent, looked and listened.

“The only thing I remember which was remarkable in Burns’ manner, was the effect produced upon him by a print of Bunbury’s, representing a soldier lying dead in the snow, his dog sitting in misery on the one side, on the other his widow with a child in her arms. These lines were written beneath, – ‘Cold on Canadian hills, or Mindens’ plain, Perhaps that parent wept her soldiers slain: Bent o’er her babe, her eye dissolved in dew, The big drops, mingling with the milk he drew, Gave the sad presage of his future years, The child of misery baptized in tears.’ “Burns seemed much affected by the print, or rather the ideas which it suggested to his mind. He actually shed tears.

He asked whose the lines were, and it chanced that nobody but myself remembered that they occur in a half-forgotten poem of Langhorne’s, called by the uncompromising title of The Justice Of The Piece.

“I whispered my information to a friend present, who mentioned it to Burns, who rewarded me with a look and a word, which, though of mere civility, I then received and still ecollect, with very great pleasure.”

An odd mix of high industry and entertainment, boasting one of Glasgow's largest venues and some fine waterfront hotels backed onto the long trail of tenements and storefronts. There may be multiple ways to cross the Clyde into Southside hidden underneath the domain. There may also be some tension with the West End proper, immediately to the north, as Finniston is claimed by the rogue Tremere styling himself "JD" and his informal chantry - indirectly responsible for bringing down Glenarvon's praxis in 2019.

The Glasgow Rental Market

Introduction

Glasgow’s rental market has seen significant changes in recent years, driven by increasing demand, fluctuating property prices, and evolving tenant preferences. Whether you’re a landlord, investor, or tenant, staying informed about market trends is essential. This blog explores Glasgow’s current rental landscape, key trends, and what to expect in 2024.

The State of Glasgow’s Rental Market

The Glasgow rental market continues to thrive, with strong demand across various property types. As Scotland’s largest city and a major economic hub, Glasgow attracts students, professionals, and families, all contributing to a dynamic and competitive rental sector.

Rising Demand and Low Supply

A persistent theme in Glasgow’s rental market is the imbalance between supply and demand. With more people seeking rental properties than available homes, rental prices have steadily increased. Key factors influencing demand include:

University Enrollments: Glasgow’s universities attract thousands of students each year, leading to high demand for student accommodation.

Job Opportunities: The city’s growing technology, finance, and creative sectors are drawing professionals looking for rental housing.

Cost of Living Considerations: Many potential homeowners are delaying purchases due to high mortgage rates, increasing demand for rentals.

Average Rental Prices in Glasgow

Rental prices vary based on location, property type, and amenities. Here’s a breakdown of the average rental costs in different parts of the city:

City Centre

One-bedroom flat: £900–£1,200 per month

Two-bedroom flat: £1,200–£1,600 per month

Three-bedroom flat: £1,600–£2,000 per month

West End

One-bedroom flat: £850–£1,100 per month

Two-bedroom flat: £1,100–£1,500 per month

Three-bedroom flat: £1,500–£1,900 per month

Southside

One-bedroom flat: £750–£1,000 per month

Two-bedroom flat: £950–£1,300 per month

Three-bedroom flat: £1,300–£1,700 per month

East End

One-bedroom flat: £650–£900 per month

Two-bedroom flat: £850–£1,200 per month

Three-bedroom flat: £1,200–£1,500 per month

These figures highlight how central locations and popular areas like the West End command higher rents, while the East End and suburbs offer more affordable options.

Key Trends Shaping Glasgow’s Rental Market

1. Increase in Build-to-Rent Developments

The build-to-rent (BTR) sector is expanding in Glasgow, offering professionally managed rental properties with premium amenities. These developments cater to young professionals seeking hassle-free rental experiences.

2. Growing Popularity of Co-Living Spaces

Co-living spaces are gaining traction, especially among students and young professionals. These properties provide private bedrooms with shared common areas, fostering a sense of community while keeping costs manageable.

3. Rising Demand for Energy-Efficient Homes

Sustainability is a key concern for tenants, with many prioritizing properties that offer energy-efficient appliances, insulation, and smart heating systems to reduce utility costs.

4. Short-Term Lets and Airbnb Regulations

New regulations on short-term rentals, including Airbnb properties, are reshaping the market. Stricter rules could increase the availability of long-term rental homes, helping to stabilize prices.

5. Remote Work Impact on Housing Preferences

The shift to remote and hybrid working models has led tenants to seek properties with dedicated home office spaces, better internet connectivity, and access to green spaces.

Best Areas to Rent in Glasgow

1. West End

A cultural hotspot with trendy cafés, boutique shops, and green spaces like Kelvingrove Park. Popular among students and young professionals.

2. City Centre

Ideal for those seeking vibrant nightlife, dining, and easy access to business hubs.

3. Southside

Offers a mix of affordability and character, with family-friendly neighborhoods like Shawlands and Pollokshields.

4. East End

An up-and-coming area with regeneration projects making it an attractive option for budget-conscious renters.

Investment Opportunities in Glasgow’s Rental Market

1. High-Yield Areas

Investors looking for high rental yields should consider emerging neighborhoods such as Dennistoun and Govanhill, where rental demand is strong but property prices remain relatively low.

2. Buy-to-Let Potential

With mortgage rates fluctuating, buy-to-let investments remain a viable option for landlords who can secure competitive financing and find tenants quickly.

3. Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA)

Glasgow’s large student population makes PBSA a lucrative investment opportunity, offering stable rental income and strong occupancy rates.

Tips for Tenants and Landlords

Act Fast: The market is competitive, so be ready with necessary documents.

Consider Different Areas: Expanding your search can help you find better deals.

Negotiate Where Possible: Some landlords may offer flexibility on rent or lease terms.

Be Aware of Legal Changes: Stay informed on Scottish rental regulations to avoid compliance issues.

Set Competitive Rent: Research the local market to price your property appropriately.

Screen Tenants Thoroughly: Conduct proper background checks to ensure reliable tenants.

Consider Long-Term Leases: Offering long-term leases can provide stability and reduce turnover costs.

Future Outlook for Glasgow’s Rental Market

With continued population growth, investment in infrastructure, and a strong local economy, Glasgow’s rental market is expected to remain competitive. However, affordability concerns and regulatory changes may influence rental prices and availability in the coming years. Staying informed about these factors can help both tenants and landlords navigate the evolving market landscape.

Contextual Research

Simon Murphy

Simon Murphy is a well-known Glasgow photographer, whose body of work consists largely of environmental portraiture shot on film, particularly situated within the Govanhill area of Glasgow.

It felt very appropriate to look at Murphys work at this early stage of my project because it is very relevant to the subject matter I intend on capturing, being the small area in the Southside of Glasgow I have lived in for the last 4 years, as Govanhill is also in the Southside. You can see from the images that he expertly uses the environment to his advantage and it plays a key role in communicating the mood of the overall image. In terms of people, capturing the everyday people from the area that come from all different walks of life in a very beautiful way tells the viewer a lot about this area that people may have negative preconceptions about and shows it in a new light which is very thought-provoking.

From looking at Murphys work and thinking about my own area and how at first glance it does come off as quite dull and mundane, I am considering how I can go about capturing my own area in a new and exciting way. Murphy had done this through outdoor portraits so I may consider going about my own project in a similar way.

Sandra Mickiewicz

Mickiewicz is a Polish documentary photographer based in London. I am particularly interested in her work capturing Jaywick, the most deprived town in Britain.

The town has suffered immensely due to government neglect and lack of funding from the local council resulting in it appearing quite run down. However, Mickiewicz captures the area in a unique, intimate light, and in turn brings awareness of the struggles of the area to wider audiences.

I am particularly interested in the photos she has captured of the surrounding buildings and environment, she captures the neglected buildings in a more simplistic way but I feel this lends itself to the calm, quaint mood of the images. I really like this style she has adopted for this project and I will consider if I can go about capturing the buildings in my area, which are also fairly run down on the outside, in a similar way.
