Cities have an immortal quality in the minds of their inhabitants, enduring over the span of their lifetimes, ever changing yet familiar as every new stratigraphic relationship in the city's fabric is thrust, hacked or crammed into the centuries and millennia of anthropogenic stratum that shaped the place to that point. What role does this deep time play in the lives of the shoppers, commuters, dwellers, and workers who interact with the largely invisible urban prehistoric landscape? This paper reports on experiential landscape research focused on a possible prehistoric site in Glasgow, the Camphill enclosure, in Queen's Park. An account of the site has been provided detailing the academic histories from antiquarian rediscovery to the present, current interactions, and a phenomenology-based interpretative narrative of past. The paper concludes with a critique of the research undertaken highlighting the limitations of both the methods and practices and some thoughts on deep time in urban places.

This article considers the circumstances, aftermath and legacy of the discovery of a bog body near Cambusnethan in North Lanarkshire in 1932. The body of a man and a unique jacket were assessed by Ludovic McLellan Mann soon thereafter and removed to Glasgow Museums where they remain today. The body was popularly perceived to be a Scottish Covenanter although there is no scientific or historical evidence of this, and Mann himself was vague. In an attempt to provide some clarity, this article traces the interplay between archaeological and historical evidence, as well as contemporary popular memory around the find. There is an enduring belief the body was a Covenanter, exemplified by a cairn in Greenhead Moss Community Nature Park in Lanarkshire which has displayed the story since 1997. In the last 25 years, there have been repatriation claims for the remains and the story was raised in the Scottish Parliament. Thus, Mann's archaeological practice continues to shape opinion today although in this case his work was exemplary. Whilst the ‘Covenanter in the bog’ was not Mann's myth, this article reveals how the story evolved and why it remains in the popular consciousness across Scotland.

Ludovic McLellan Mann was an inveterate user of the press and other media to put his ideas before the public and to campaign for matters that he felt important. This paper presents a short survey of the many newspapers and periodicals filed under his name in the British Newspaper Archive, and demonstrates both the extent of his influence and the range of matters on which he was asked to give advice.

In his 1938 book Earliest Glasgow, Ludovic Mann proposed that ancient Glasgow was laid out on a clock-face radial grid and that St Kentigern was head of a lunar cult. We explore Kentigern's journey to Glasgow following ‘the straight road along where there was no path’ that inspired Harry Bell's research into the Glasgow ley system, as documented in his 1984 book Glasgow's Secret Geometry. This paper will consider whether Glasgow really was a ‘Temple of the Moon’ laid out on a geometric basis as Mann claimed and outline connections between Mann's ideas and Bell's Network of Aligned Sites.

In this paper, I will reflect on my personal memories of Ludovic Mann, friend and mentor to my late father George Applebey, whose archaeological career is also a focus of the paper. They both worked together on Mann's most famous excavations at Knappers Farm, and the nearby painting of the Cochno Stone rock-art panel. However, these are only two examples of their long-term collaboration and friendship, and this paper will explore the broader context within which they worked. This will include consideration of other collaborators, such as J Harrison Maxwell, part of the ‘Ludovic Group’ in the first half of the twentieth century. The important role that all three men played in the development of Scottish archaeology is noted. The paper concludes with developments following Mann's death in 1955 including George Applebey's emergence as a noted amateur archaeologist in his own right, and the fate of the Mann and Applebey collections.

An imagined dialogue with Mann through art, conversation and letters. It explores the struggle to make sense of a world that flings events so large, and at times perhaps overwhelming, it is difficult for people to remain anchored.
