Glad to help, Guest,#

I searched some trying to confirm Jim Carroll's question back to 2014, I couldn't find anything in particular about barrels rolling down the street, though it remains possible, as newspapers.com (the service I use) doesn't have much coverage of overseas area, and the coverage of the area it does have is predominantly London.

There were temperance halls in the area dating back to the 1870s or before, however the first time I saw it being formally voted as a dry area (after a brief skim; this was not an exhaustive search) was in 1920. Though the Scottish Temperance Polls started in 1913, news of Kirkintilloch voting to stay dry or not didn't reach any papers I have access to, though in 1920 the area decided to be dry by a strong margin (The American Issue, December 4th 1920, p. 3 [note: a prohibitionist paper who wrote under the motto "A Saloonless Nation and a Stainless Flag"])
