Adding basic #Wikidata info for "Edinburgh plague of 1585" got me looking at data for other infectious outbreaks, and finding it a wee bit bare.
Even the "1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak", which put #Aberdeen in lockdown, is scant on Wikidata.
And nothing on the "Glasgow plague of 1900-1901", the northernmost point of the Third Plague Pandemic, so I created an item.
It feels like a data gap, especially when C19 cholera outbreaks were the catalyst for public clean water supply in #Glasgow etc.
