Abstract

Between 1902 and 1905 the Scottish community of Ballachulish, near Glencoe, was shaken to its foundations by protracted and bitter conflicts: a twelve month quarry lock-out and a dispute over the employment of Lachlan Grant, a doctor supported by the community. Appendices reproduce the Valuation Rolls for County of Argyll from 1901-6 and the 1891 and 1901 census returns for West Laroch. With 2 maps, photo and 2 reproductions: Terms of employment, Company /labour agreement.
