| Merchant City 1780. Glasgow is booming but the American war is looming and the city's wealth is dependent on the import and export of American tobacco. Will the great port survive? This pressing question is NOT addressed by Enoch Dalmellington, resident of Virginia Street. He is more concerned about marrying off his dreich pious humourless daughter Euphemia, being able to afford his pew at the Tron Kirk, and what to do about Mistress Zapata's scurrilous predictions about Glasgow in 2008. Apparently "women will be attending university, the poor will all have water closets and his beloved Virginia Street will become a hotbed of sodomy!". | |||||
