Smuggling in West Argyll and Lochaber

Before 1745

Charles Hunter
New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

The imposition of new taxes following the 1707 Act of Union caused fierce resentment in the west of Scotland, and gave rise to widespread smuggling. Based on original documents in the archive of Ardchattan Priory near Oban, this study records the illicit import of timber, tobacco, wine and brandy, seizures by customs officers, and dramatic shipwrecks off Jura and Lismore.
