Chapter 15: The Last of the Atholes — Labour Laws, Smuggling Aftermath, and Debt Refuge

Source

Chapter 15 from 'Land of Home Rule' (1893) examines the post-Revestment consequences for the Manx people, covering labour law reforms (1777), the collapse of smuggling trade, the Island's transformation into a sanctuary for debtors (1737–1814), and the final purchase of the Duke of Atholl's remaining interests (1825–1829). The chapter contextualises these developments within broader themes of constitutional change, economic disruption, and social reform.
