GUEST,# Lyr Req: In Kirkintilloch There's Nae Pubs (38) RE: Lyr Req: In Kirkintilloch There's Nae Pubs 15 Jul 21

"Kilsyth, Kirkintilloch, Wick and Lerwick were amongst those turned dry after local vetoes were held following the passing of the 1913 Temperance Act."

That is from https://www.scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-and-entertainment/history-scotlands-dry-temperance-towns-1483804

I suspect that then we'd be looking for a George Hamilton born in the late 1800s.

Assuming the remark from GUEST Date: 25 Jan 14 - 04:43 PM is accurate,

' The song" In Kirkintilloch There's Nae Pubs" was written by my uncle George "The Duke" Hamilton & was recorded by The Corries. ', then possibly there will be some info that way.

(However, Google renders nothing so far.)

I've written to two separate organizations in or near Kirkintilloch and will report back if my emails are answered. That's it for now.
