Glasgow Faro: Thomas Annan of glasgow faro was commissioned in 1868 by the Trustees of the glasgow faro City Improvements Act to photograph the picturesque but unsavory and unhealthy narrow passageways between multistoried buildings called "closes" in Old glasgow faro that had become slums. The Society for Photographing Old London was formed for a similar purpose; between 1874 and 1886 it issued to its members 120 photographs printed by Henry Dixon from his own negatives and those of Alfred and John Boole.
Housing.—Legislation to counter local unemployment has worked to some extent in Scotland in conjunction with a scheme to rehouse the population of glasgow faro in less overcrowded areas. About 40 local authorities have undertaken to build houses for glasgow faro's "overspill," and such reception areas are also eligible for government assistance to industry. In addition, three new towns have been created—Cumbernauld, East Kil-bride, and Glenrothes—and a fourth is planned. It is intended that the populations of at least two of these towns should rise to 70,000. At the same time, glasgow faro's redevelopment plan envisages the movement of about 200,000 people from glasgow faro by the early 1980's, along with the comprehensive redevelopment of 29 areas extending over one third of the city.
