In the nineteenth century, Scotland was renowned as a land of misty
glens, engineering innovation and inventive genius. But it was also
the home of brutal murder, terrifying riots, cruelty to children,
bank robbery and acid attacks. Women as well as men were capable of
horrendous acts, and crime could strike anywhere: at home, on the
road and even at sea. From the Borders to the Northern Isles, crime
was never far away. Edinburgh, with its reputation for polite
decorum, was also the scene of poisoning and savagery; the dark
streets of industrial Glasgow and Dundee harboured thieves and
muggers; and the villages of coast and country hid wild men and
vicious women. Bloody Scotland exposes some of the crimes, both
remembered and forgotten, that rocked Scotland in those lawless
times and reveals not only the criminals who perpetrated them, but
also the law enforcers who fought hard to maintain order against a
rising tide of crime.
