The steam engine as improved by Watt was probably the most important technological advance of the industrial revolution; with the fuel economies of the separate condenser, steam engines could operate anywhere. Later improvements included a new coupling so that the engine could work in both directions, rotative motion, and a governor for safety. -

Strichen was one of the first generation of villages planned in the North East in the 1750s and 1760s. Alexander Fraser, its founder hoped to create a small market town populated by textile manufacturers, tradesmen and agricultural labourers, some of whom also rented fields in the neighbourhood which enabled them to keep cows and horses. The layout of the village, characterised by straight streets connected by lanes with houses facing directly on to the pavement, still bear witness to careful planning. -

CONSTABLE LTD 1969 © Scottish History Society 1969 ^ 0 :_ ^" ^^97°/8 Printed in Great Britain PREFACE It was at the suggestion of Mr David Walker that I first visited Arthurstone in the hope that letters or drawings of Peter Carmichael might have been preserved there. I am grateful to the present owner of Arthurstone, Major Peter Carmichael, for allowing me to read and select for publication the papers left by his great-great-uncle, and for his patience, kindness and help- fulness to me during my work. I must also acknowledge the help I have received from the firm of Baxter Brothers and Company and from the staffs of Dundee University Library and Dundee Public Libraries.
