A Talk about the Temperance Movement in Scotland with Dr. Elspeth King
In this talk, Elspeth King will trace the history of the temperance movement from its foundation in October 1829 through its various stages, when licenced premises were banned from Glasgow Corporation properties in 1890 and the city became 'a very Tokyo for Tea Rooms' in a broad sweep to the present day.
Elspeth King is a retired museum curator who previously worked at the People's Palace, Glasgow (where she wrote the first history of Scottish temperance) then Abbot House, Dunfermline and the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum.
