Whisky Wars, Riots And Murder: Crime In The 19th Century Highlands And Islands
Malcolm Archibald - Paperback - Black & White Publishing
Although the 19th-century elite looked on the Highlands and Islands as a sporting paradise, for the indigenous population it was a turbulent place. Rather than a rural idyll, the glens and moors were home to poachers and whisky smugglers, while the towns were always ready to explode into riot and disorder.
