THE KINTYRE HEARTH TAX (PART 1)
by A.I.B. Stewart
Campbeltown, Argyll, Scotland
Introduction
In her history of scotland Professor Rosalind Mitchison of Edinburgh
University states "Scotland, in the late Seventeenth Century was aleo learning
to apply her resources to her own affairs. Taxation had developed rapidly not
merely in devising of new types of tax, but in the actual extraction of the
cash. The Cromwellian excise stayed on and the assessment on land was revised
in 1667 as the ‘cess’. Landowners in every shire who allotted it were known
as the Commissioners of Supply and there provided the basis of county
government till late in the Nineteenth Century. Poll taxes were experimented
with, and on one occasion in 1691, a Hearth Tax was levied, to help find money
for William’s French war, but these were eventually dropped, perhaps because
‘they were too hard on the poor, perhaps because they were unenforceable".
Despite the date given by Professor Mitchison it was in 1694 that the
tax was raised in Argyll.
The Hearth Tax lists for the shires of Argyll and Bute are preserved
under E 69/3/1 in the Scottish Record Office. There are 82 pages in all. The
entries for Kintyre appear on pages 42-55 and entries under Knapdale of lands
now considered to be in Kintyre, south of Tarbert appear on pages 33-36.
At the back of the list appears the following declaration:
2a ffebry 1694
In the presence of George Earle of Linlithgow & Alexr. Lord Raith Lords
Comissioners of the Majy. There compeared Alexr. Mcarthur subcollector
of the Hearth money in the shire of Argyll and Bute, who being solemnly
sworn deponded That the forsaid List of Hearths contained in this Book
Extended to six thousand ffyve hundred and therty nyn hearths which are
payed; Is ane true & just List, of all the hearths within the fored
shyres of Argyll & Bute, to the best of his knowledge Excepting the
hearths of poor, and about Threescore hearths or thereby, which came to
his paynes, being lyeing discontigue from others, through the saids
shyres. And also excepting the hearths of Mull, Terrie, Coll and
Ardnamurcharn, Sunart, Appin, Glencoe, Canna and Morvern the counties

endeavours, confirm to the proclamations of Councell, anent the
infathering of Hearth Money, to attaine to the Knowledge of all the
Hearths of the said two shyres and that he has neither wittingly or
willingly concealed any hearths But has given up the samen turely as
