The Distilleries of Campbeltown
"The origins of the vast growth in the whisky trade in Campbeltown in the 19th century lie in the illicit distilling that was carried out throughout Kintyre in the 17th and 18th centuries. Generations of people, both native and settler, who farmed and fished also distilled on a regular basis. When legislation encouraged legal distilling in Scotland in the 1820s, Campbeltown began to boom as distilleries were erected at breakneck speed. Many former illicit distillers turned to the legal trade and began to build thriving businesses that were to transform the town over the course of the next 70 years." "By 1930 the trade had almost vanished and only three distilleries remained, working: Rieclachan, Springbank and Scotia. When David Stirk worked at Wm Cadenhead Ltd. in Campbeltown he asked himself why this had happened and set about researching the circumstances of this industrial collapse." "The result was The Distilleries of Campbeltown which is the first major, indepth study of the whisky industry in the town. It is therefore an essential reference work for anyone with an interest in Kintyre, Campbeltown and the whisky trade."--BOOK JACKET.
Local Acts
An eclectic mix of art, theatre, dance, politics, experimentation, and ritual, community-based performance has become an increasingly popular art movement in the United States.

Local Acts presents a long-overdue survey of community-based performance from its early roots, through its flourishing during the politically-turbulent 1960s, to present-day popular culture. Drawing on nine case studies, including groups such as the African Ameri...
Reforming the Scottish Parish
The Protestant Reformation of 1560 is widely acknowledged as being a watershed moment in Scottish history. However, whilst the antecedents of the reform movement have been widely explored, the actual process of establishing a reformed church in the parishes in the decades following 1560 has been largely ignored. This book helps remedy the situation by examining the foundation of the reformed church and the impact of Protestant discipline in the parishes of Fife. In early modern Scotland, Fife was both a distinct and important region, containing a preponderance of coastal burghs as well as St Andrews, the ecclesiastical capital of medieval Scotland. It also contained many rural and inland par...
