Abstract

The Malt Tax riots in Glasgow in 1725 were caused by legislation seen as being in breach of the 1707 Treaty of Union: they were crushed by General Wade, himself at the beginning of a 16-year mission to improve roads and communications in the Highlands, to redevelop Independent Companies of Highlanders to police the area and to emplace an upgraded cadre of local law officers. In 1745, Wade’s achievement was to be highly beneficial to Charles Edward’s army, whose lightning pace of advance owed much to the Hanoverian general’s roads.1
