Old Argyll was not as peaceful as it seems, with crime being just as bloody and violent as in former eras. Tales of murder, a gentleman's scrap, a gun-toting Oban doctor, a battle for illicit whisky, women peddling fake coins, and a violent death are all included in this dip into Argyll's history.

Life in old Argyll was far from peaceful as the picturesque hills and glens might suggest. Despite the efforts of respectable parish and police constables, the magistrates and court officials in their new jail, and the looming Industrial Revolution on the horizon, this delve into Argyll's history reveals that crime in the county was just as bloody and violent as in previous eras. Here are tales of murder on the shores of Seil or Islay, a gentleman's scrap in a Tobermory inn, a gun-toting Oban doctor, a battle for illicit whisky at Kilchrenan, a bloody end to a Kintyre shinty match, women peddling fake coins (and something even more dubious!) with an exciting chase on the Crinan canal, and a final story of a violent death, a bloody razor, and the tragic end of a Lochgilphead schoolteacher. The blood still runs deep in old Argyll.
