Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Kilchoman People Vindicated From the Charges of the Rev. Alex. Cameron: Being a Report of the Proceedings of a Meeting of the Islay Association, Held in the Garrick Temperance Hotel, Stockwell Street, Glasgow, on the Evening of Thursday, 28th June, 1867
Glasgow, June 28, 1867. Dear sir, I regret that I am unable to attend the Meeting of the Islay Association this evening, as I have to go to the coast.' I entirely approve of the endeavours you are making to refute the statement made relative to the people of Kilchoman Parish.
I am not very well acquainted in the Parish of Kilchoman, but of those parts of the Island where the people are intimately known to me, I can speak with confidence, and say that the statement is not at all applicable to them which has in this instance been made regarding the moral and religious character of the people of Kilchoman. I always found the people of Islay, as a whole, the very opposite, and now is the first time that I ever heard it breathed that Kilchoman people were in any way inferior to the rest of the inhabitants of Islay. I regret that I cannot be present with you to express my honest indignation at the attempt that has been made to malign an inoffensive people, by one who should in such a matter have been their Vindicator.
