INDEX for "Kintyre Country Life"
by Angus Maritin.

This book completes Angus Martin's trilogy on the history of his native Kintyre. As with his previous books - The Ring Net Fisherman and Kintyre: The Hidden Past - the material comes from both written and oral sources. The book presents a picture of the lives of country folk in Kintyre from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth. The greater part of the material has never before been published and includes accounts of sheep-stealing, New Year's Day shinty battles, and violent encounters between excisemen and the distillers and smugglers of illicit whisky. It is also about the everyday lives of the people; how they worked the land, kept their livestock, built and furnished their homes, prepared food and fuel and celebrated special days. The book is generously illustrated with photographs both collected and taken by the author.

APPENDIX 1

Tenants of the A rgyll Estate Convicted of Malting or Distilling Illegally,
24 October 1800-2 April 1801 (p. 101)

The following were caught with a still: Thomas Brown, Machrimore; David Reid, Kildavie; Robert Colville, Glenmanuill; Peter MacBride, Largybeg; Colin McEachran, Glenahervie; Donald Campbell, Killeonan; Peter Galbreath, Laggan; James and John Harvie, Skeroblinraid; and Duncan McLean, Kylipoll (Calliburn).

The following had quantities of wash, ranging from 6 to 126 gallons: Donald MacLean, Corrylach; Hugh MacIliver, Remuil; Malcom McMath, Auchinslisaig; John MacPhaill, Darlochan; and James McMillan, Cuilanlongart.

Malting was being carried on by: Donald McConnachy, Baligroggan; Lachlan Bowie, Largymore; John MacNaught, Druimnarianach; Hugh McMillan, Gartvain; Alexander Campbell, Strone; and Archibald Campbell Jr., Dailbhraddan.

Alexander Campbell, Carrine, was caught with five gallons of illicit whisky.

David Reid in Kildavie later satisfied the Duke, on oath, that he had no knowledge of the distilling, which had been 'carried on by his herd, and others not resident upon His Grace's Property'.
