1. Title: A Model of Charity and Social Welfare: An Aerial View of a Scottish Town Parish Poorhouse (1847) This evocative aerial photograph presents a fascinating glimpse into Scotland's past, showcasing the meticulously planned design of a model poorhouse for town parishes. Dating back to 1847, this design was the brainchild of esteemed Scottish architects Messrs McKenzie and Matthews, who had previously created a similar plan for Aberdeen's town poorhouse. The Scottish Board of Supervision, a governmental body responsible for overseeing the welfare of the poor, commissioned this design to provide a more efficient and humane alternative to the traditional workhouse system. The architects' innovative layout aimed to minimize the stigma associated with the workhouse, while ensuring that the destitute received adequate care and support. The image reveals a well-organized, rectangular layout, with distinct areas for various aspects of poorhouse life. The central building housed the administrative offices, infirmary, and dormitories, while separate structures accommodated workshops, schools, and even a farm. The design's open, airy layout and green spaces were intended to foster a sense of community and promote a more positive living environment for the residents. This historical aerial view offers a unique perspective on the 1840s Scottish welfare system, providing valuable insights into the architectural and social evolution of poorhouses during this transformative era. The meticulous planning and progressive design of this model poorhouse reflect the compassionate intentions of the Scottish Board of Supervision and the architects, who sought to alleviate the suffering of the poor through innovative and humane solutions.
