David Livingstone Birthplace (Museum), Blantyre, Lanarkshire, Scotland, Great Britain - April 2013
David Livingstone (1813 - 1873) was a Victorian Scottish explorer and missionary. He explored much of Southern and Eastern Africa and did much to influence the abolition of the slave trade. His birthplace in the small town of Blantyre, near Glasgow, has been made into a biographical museum dedicated to his life and work. It is operated by the David Livingstone Trust and is housed in a listed building often referred to as Shuttle Row. The museum rests on the grounds of the David Livingstone Birthplace, which contains historic grounds as well as the museum.
It is located in the former textile mill buildings which once housed 24 families including Livingstone's, and where he was born on 19 March 1813.
The Collection at the David Livingstone Birthplace Museum held by The Scottish National Memorial to David Livingstone Trust contains a selection of objects and documents exploring the life, work and legacy of David Livingstone (including his family) and the history of Blantyre Mills and Village. The centre depicts Livingstone's life from his early childhood working in the mill, to his expeditions throughout Southern Africa. These are illustrated with the aid of various pieces of his navigational and medical equipment, interspersed with artefacts from Livingstone's family, contemporaries, and Southern Africa.
He discovered and named the Victoria Falls and died in Zambia in 1873. He is buried in Westminster Abbey.

Opening Hours
The museum is open weekly, from Thursday to Monday 10am - 4pm (last admission 3pm).
Who was David Livingstone?
David Livingstone was born in a small tenement flat in Shuttle Row (the building that is now our museum).
He studied medicine and trained to be a missionary. Inspired by his future father-in-law and others, he set his sights on South Africa.
Motivated by the abolitionary movement, he explored Southern and Central Africa. He hoped to find opportunities for commerce that would end the East African Slave Trade.
Livingstone died searching for the source of the Nile. He hoped that the fame it would bring him would secure support for his fight against slavery.
His extraordinary life transformed him into one of the most celebrated British figures of the Victorian era. His story continues to hold impact to this day.

“David Livingstone b:19 March 1813 – d: 1 May 1873, was a Scottish physician, Congregationalist, and pioneer Christian missionary with the London Missionary Society, an explorer in Africa, and one of the most popular British heroes of the late 19th-century Victorian era. He had a mythic status that operated on a number of interconnected levels: Protestant missionary martyr, working-class rags-to-riches inspirational story, scientific investigator and explorer, imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader, and advocate of British commercial and colonial expansion.”
“River Clyde is a river that flows into the Firth of Clyde in Scotland. It is the ninth-longest river in the United Kingdom, and the third-longest in Scotland. It runs through the major city of Glasgow. Historically, it was important to the British Empire because of its role in shipbuilding and trade. To the Romans, it was Clota, and in the early medieval Cumbric language, it was known as Clud or Clut. It was central to the Kingdom of Strathclyde.”

Blantyre Resort Lenox Massachusetts USA
Sign Up now for your free membership and benefit from exclusive perks and promotions in over 2000 luxury hotels worldwide.
Travel 120 miles west of Boston, 138 miles from New York City, and discover Blantyre. Set amidst 110 acres of spectacular Berkshire countryside, this Tudor-style mansion, built in 1902, replicates a grand Scottish manor. Blantyre's splendor reflects the love and devotion of Jack and Jane Fitzpatrick and their daughter, Ann.
With its lovely leaded glass windows, richly burnished woods, and luxurious fabrics, the inside of Blantyre is exactly what you would expect upon seeing the outside of the building. In the Main House, there are overstuffed chairs, fresh flowers, a light-filled music room, and rooms for private dining — all designed with their guests' comfort in mind. The heart of the house, the baronial Main Hall on the first floor, is an eclectic mix of period pieces and treasured heirlooms specially assembled under owner Ann Fitzpatrick Brown and her mother Jane's discerning eyes.
The Tudor-style manor houses eight exquisite bedrooms and suites, many with fireplaces. The twelve accommodations in the nearby Carriage House echo the warm and lush fabrics, antiques, and style of the Main House, as do the four private cottages. Every bedroom at Blantyre has a distinct character.
Dining is an exceptional event at Blantyre. Late every afternoon, the Main House undergoes a lovely transformation as it is prepared for the delightful dining experience to come that evening. Linens are brought out. Tables are set with sterling silver, fine china, crystal, and fresh flowers. Beautiful music fills the air, and candles are lit. Under the knowing eye of Chef Christopher Brooks, the kitchen is a hive of activity as the finest ingredients are used to create a memorable dining experience.
The History, Heritage, & Today - Robert Paterson was introduced to the Lenox, MA area in the late 1890s by his friend John Sloan (of W&J Sloane). Lenox already had many great estates even before Blantyre, prompting the area to be known as the queen of inland resorts or, as Cleveland Amory wrote, the Switzerland of America. Paterson acquired the Lenox estate of 220 acres called Highlawn from the Dorr family. He tore down the modest house, keeping the outbuildings. Hence, the Carriage House Stables and The Retreat at Blantyre date from the late 19th century. Then, he set about building a property on a grand scale, although the initial plans were purported to be drawn on the back of an envelope by the architect Robert Henderson Robertson. For no less than a castle of feudal architectural features, Robert Paterson's concept was replete with towers, turrets, and gargoyles. The house was modeled after his mother's ancestral home in Blantyre, Scotland. Construction began in 1901, at times employing over 300 people on the grounds and buildings.
The Manor House was furnished in English style with all furniture brought in from England. The family used the house during the summer and fall seasons and entertained frequently, as was the fashion in those days. There were garden parties with musicians imported from New York and grand dinner dances, with each party becoming more and more lavish, befitting the Gilded Age. When the end of the era came some 15 to 20 years later, it hastened by introducing the income tax, so, too, ended a lifestyle that was never to be repeated. Over the next 60 years, Blantyre went through several transitions, including a particularly destructive period in the 1970s.
In 1980, Jack and Jane Fitzpatrick fell in love with the abandoned Blantyre and organized to purchase it for their daughter, Ann Fitzpatrick Brown, who became the eighth owner. Determined to restore it to its former elegance, Ann reopened Blantyre in 1981, after extensive renovation. Thus, Blantyre achieved the vision of the Fitzpatricks – a beautiful country house recognized as one of the finest hotels in the world, where guests can come and stay and experience the life and service of a bygone era.
Beginning in 2000, Ann and the staff of Blantyre planned and worked toward fully winterizing Blantyre. In May 2005, Blantyre opened its doors for the first time in 25 years as a year-round operation, with The Retreat, Blantyre's cozy and intimate spa.
After Fitzpatrick Brown's passing in 2016, the property was purchased by Linda Law, a veteran real estate investor, who discovered the Berkshires as a student and had Blantyre on her bucket list for more than three decades. Ms. Law decided that the beloved Manor deserved a twenty-first-century upgrade, with a bow to the old and a nod to the new, bringing this Berkshires getaway resort into a new age of Gilded Grandeur.

Top 10 Malawi Cities By Population
Malawi, officially known as the Republic of Malawi, is a landlocked country located in southeastern Africa. Here is a brief overview of Malawi's population history:
Pre-Colonial Era:
Prior to the arrival of European colonizers, Malawi was inhabited by various Bantu-speaking ethnic groups, including the Chewa, Nyanja, Yao, Lomwe, and Tumbuka, among others. These groups had established their own distinct cultures and societies throughout the region.
Colonial Era:
Malawi, then known as Nyasaland, became a British protectorate in the late 19th century. During the colonial period, the British administration introduced cash crops such as tobacco, tea, and coffee, leading to changes in the socioeconomic landscape and population patterns.
Mid-20th Century:
In the mid-1900s, there was a gradual increase in population due to improved healthcare, reduced infant mortality, and advancements in medical treatments. However, population growth remained relatively slow.
Independence and Post-Independence:
Malawi gained independence from British colonial rule on July 6, 1964, under the leadership of Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda. Following independence, Malawi experienced a period of rapid population growth.
During the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Malawi's population continued to increase significantly. The country faced challenges such as poverty, limited access to healthcare and education, and high rates of HIV/AIDS, which affected population dynamics.
Population Growth and Demographic Trends:
According to estimates from the United Nations, the population of Malawi has steadily increased over the years. Here are some approximate population figures for certain periods:
- 1960: Approximately 3.4 million people
- 1990: Around 8.8 million people
- 2000: About 11.9 million people
- 2010: Approximately 15.9 million people
- 2020: Around 19.1 million people
It's important to note that these figures are estimates and can vary based on different sources. The population growth rate in Malawi has been relatively high, and the country has faced challenges in providing adequate resources and services to its growing population.
Malawi continues to focus on improving healthcare, education, and economic opportunities to address population-related challenges and promote sustainable development.

Old Photographs Of West Calder West Lothian Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of West Calder, Scottish Gaelic: Calldair an Iar, a town in West Lothian. This Scottish town located 4 miles west of Livingston, was an important centre for the oil shale economy in the 19th and 20th Centuries. A memorial in the centre of the town remembers the fifteen men killed on 10 January 1947 as a result of an explosion at the Burngrange oil shale mine southwest of the town. West Calder has its own railway station.
Notable people from West Calder include;
James Douglas was born on 21 March 1675 in West Calder. He was one of the seven sons of William Douglas, and his wife, Joan, daughter of James Mason of Park, Blantyre. In 1694 James Douglas graduated MA from the University of Edinburgh and then took his medical doctorate at Reims before going to London, England, in 1700. He worked as an obstetrician, and gaining a great reputation as a physician, was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1706. One of the most respected anatomists in the country, Douglas was also a well known man midwife. He was asked to investigate the case of Mary Toft, an English woman from Godalming, Surrey, who in 1726 became the subject of considerable controversy when she tricked doctors into believing that she had given birth to rabbits. Despite his early scepticism, Douglas thought that a woman giving birth to rabbits was as likely as a rabbit giving birth to a human child, Douglas went to see Toft, and subsequently exposed her as a fraud. Douglas died in London on 2 April 1742, leaving a widow and two children.
Robert McKeen, born 12 July 1884, died 5 August 1974, was a New Zealand politician of the Labour Party. He was Speaker of the House of Representatives. He was born in 1884 in Edinburgh and received his education in West Calder. In Scotland, he was active in the labour movement, and worked as a grocer's assistant in a co-operative store. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1909, and worked in coal mines on the West Coast before moving to Wellington, and a grocery store. He was a union official. He married Jessie Russell, the daughter of Robert Russell. He died in Otaki on 5 August 1974 and is buried at the Kelvin Grove Cemetery in Palmerston North.
John Kane, born August 19, 1860, died August 10, 1934, was an American painter celebrated for his skill in Naïve art. He was born John Cain to Irish parents in West Calder. His father died when he was age 10, leaving behind a widow and 7 children. His father was employed as a grave digger in West Calder, it is said that he dug a grave on Friday and filled it on Monday. The young Kane quit school to work in the shale mines. He actually worked at Youngs Parrafin works and was so struck with the malleability of the hot parrafin moulds that he made a mask of his own face for his mother Biddy. Naturally he burned his face, but not too seriously. After his mother remarried, he emigrated to the United States at age 19, following his stepfather and older brother Patrick, who had preceded him to America and were working in Braddock, Pennsylvania, just east of Pittsburgh. In both 1925 and 1926 he submitted paintings to the Carnegie Internationals sponsored by the Carnegie Museum of Art, but the works were rejected. The next year, however, Kane found a champion in painter juror Andrew Dasburg, who persuaded the jury to accept Kane’s Scene in the Scottish Highlands. The story of the untrained, now 67 year old. painter's success was trumpeted by the newspapers. The publicity around the show came to the notice of Kane's wife, who was living in West Virginia, and with whom he'd lost contact for over ten years. They reconciled and remained together during the last years of his life. John Kane died of tuberculosis on August 10, 1934 and is interred at Pittsburgh's Roman Catholic Calvary Cemetery.
