12. Parish Life in 18th
Century Scotland
A Review of the Old Statistical Account
Scottish Cultural Press 1995
In 1790 Sir John Sinclair of Ulbster sent an
exhaustive questionnaire to every parish minister
in Scotland, covering such diverse subjects as
lifestyle, customs, industry, agriculture, geology
and wildlife. His aim was to use the answers for
the positive benefit of Scotland, showing up
strengths as well as weaknesses and, by
demonstrating to the government areas in which
specific action was required ‘to add to the
quantum of happiness’ in the country. The results
were gathered together and published as the Old
Statistical Account, a massive 20-volume work. A
selection from the wealth of sociological
information contained in the OSA is presented
here in a lively and accessible form, with extensive
quotation from all parts of the country. It is a
remarkable and unique insight into the lives of
Scottish people from very diverse parishes – urban
and rural, rich and poor, highland and lowland.
The original questionnaire is included in facsimile
as an appendix. “This book is an essential resource
for those studying social history and will be of
immense interest to all those wishing to learn
more of Scotland in earlier times” (from book
jacket).
