​Child Health in Scotland - A History of Glasgow's Children's Hospital

Published to mark the centenary of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children at Yorkhill in 2014, this history, based on hospital archives and the testimonies of former patients, parents, and staff, chronicles its fraught foundation before the First World War and transformation into an international multidisciplinary centre of paediatrics and child health a hundred years later.

"Iain Hutchison, Malcolm Nicolson and Lawrence Weaver successfully place the rise of a distinctive, specialist institution within the historical context of pediatric specialization. In doing so they craft a study that provides a very welcome  piece of the story of how pediatricians and hospital administrators navigated the challenges of caring for the health of children against the backdrop of the shifting sands of public health trends, professional battles, and the all-important arrival of the welfare state."    The Bulletin of the History of Medicine 2017

​Lawrence Weaver 1876-1930 - an Annotated Bibliography

My grandfather (Lawrence Walter William Weaver) was a prolific author, of more than thirty-five books about architecture and its interface with the worlds of commerce and industry.  As architectural editor of Country Life before the First World War he also wrote numerous articles about the works of leading architects of his day, such as Edwin Lutyens and Robert Lorimer. This annotated bibliography of all his publications was published in 1989 and inspired my authorship of Arts & Crafts Chronicler in 2025.

"This delightfully produced and elegant volume is a useful and comprehensive collection of bibliographical information concerning the oeuvre of Sir Lawrence Weaver, Architectural Editor of Country Life from 1910–16, prolific author on architectural and allied subjects, expert on agriculture, and polymath."   RSA Journal 1989

"The charm of this little book is in part due to the fact that the publishers have produced a small version of one of Weaver's own books. The tan and brown cover, with its pasted label, resembles the bindings of the Small Country House series, and the text is crisply printed on Antique Laid paper. The fragile glassine jacket is a final brilliant touch."  Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians  1990

MEDICAL  BOOK  CHAPTERS

Authorships of chapters in textbooks and multi-author volumes are steps up the professional ladder and give an idea of my medical interests. Medical textbooks become quickly out of date and some go through many editions. Electronic publishing and the internet are making them redundant, but they remain valuable historical records of how medicine was practised in the past.
