Excerpt from Memoir of Norman Macleod, D.D, Vol. 2 of 2: Minister of Barony Parish, Glascow; One of Her Majesty's Chaplain; Dean of the Chapel Royal; Dean of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle Scotland were thoroughly congenial to him. He loved Glasgow, and rejoiced in the practical sense, the enterprise, and generosity which characterised its kindly citizens. The very noise of its busy streets was pleasant to his ears. His friends remember how he used to describe himself sitting in his study, in the quiet of the winter morning, and knowing that six o'clock had struck by hearing, far down below him in the Valley of the Clyde, the thud of a great steam-hammer, to which a thousand hammers, ringing on a thousand anvils, at once replied, telling that the city had awakened to another day of labour.
