blockade runners

had a nice wee chat earlier about abolitionism and scottish women in relation to harriet beecher stowe earlier today. she writes about this in sunny memories of foreign lands. as a counterpoint i mentioned that i'd heard that blockade running from scotland during the american civil war was planned from bridge of allan. i'd looked for the address but never tracked down. in the interim this has come out, which is niche, but fascinating!
