Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the development of poor laws in Scotland. Beginning in the 16th century, when hordes of vagabonds terrorized the country, the author traces the evolution of legislation to provide for the needy. The book examines how the laws shifted from suppressing begging to providing relief, with a focus on the 1579 act that established the framework for compulsory assessments. The author also analyzes the impact of the proclamations issued by the privy council during the "seven ill years" of famine. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the history and legal basis of Scotland's poor laws, providing valuable insights for understanding their origins and significance.
