At the beginning of the 19th century widespread criticism of alcohol gained ground in Britain and elsewhere. Those who advocated abstinence from drink, as well as some who campaigned for prohibition (banning the production, sale and consumption of alcohol) started to band together from the late 1820s onwards. This formal organisation of those opposed to alcohol was new. It was in response to a significant increase in consumption, which in Scotland almost trebled between 1822 and 1829. There were several reasons for this increase. Duty on spirits was lowered in 1822 from 7/- to 2/10d per gallon1 and a new flat tax and license fee system for distillers was introduced in 1823 in an effort to deal with illegal distilling. 2 Considerable numbers of private distillers went legal soon after. Production capacity for spirits was further increased by the introduction of a new, continuous distillation process.

This project was originally undertaken to fulfil the requirements for the final project of the University of Strathclyde’s Post-graduate Certificate in Family History and Genealogy in July 2011. My interest in the subject was sparked by living in Lady Anne Grove for many years and by walking in Lady Anne’s Wood and to Lady Anne’s Well near the Kirk Burn at the east end of Tillicoultry.

This study looks in detail at those armed forces personnel from the Hillfoots towns of Clackmannanshire who died in the conflict. Over 550 fatalities with close links to the area have been identified so far. Of these, approximately 475 are commemorated on the local war memorials at Alva, Coalsnaughton, Dollar, Menstrie, Muckhart and Tillicoultry. The remaining seventy five or so may be commemorated elsewhere. In this study I have attempted to expand on the few details provided on the memorials to give a better understanding of the lives of those who died.

Every effort has been made to give a complete and accurate Roll, but the Pub- lisher does not hold himself responsible for any omissions or errors* T. R RAMAGE, Nairn, March, 191J. PRINTED AT THE COUNTY PRESS, NAIRN. Nairnshire Roll of Honour. T"\ AIRNSHIRE has responded nobly to the call of her King statistics herewith | I and country, and from the JL / given, it will be seen that the county has reason to be proud of her position, and should rank amongst those counties in Britain that have given the largest percent- age of their manhood in this the most serious time of Britain's history. Each parish is given separately, so that it can be seen at a glance how many have gone out from these districts, and to what units they belong. The Navy is largely repre- sented ; also the Seaforths and Camerons, for which Nairn- shire is part of the recruiting area. The total number serving is 894, to which Nairn Parish contributes 548, Auldearn Parish 112, Cawdor Parish 95, Croy Parish (Nairnshire part) 40, Ardclach Parish, 40. Of this total 163 belong to the Naval Services, 288 to the Regular and Kitchener's Armies, and 439 to the Terri- torial and other voluntary services. The above figures represent a percentage of 9.59 over the whole county ; 20.65 of the male population ; and 64.73 of the latter from 18 to 40 years of age.
