Old Photograph Temperance Hotel Glenfarg Perthshire Scotland
Old photograph of the Temperance Hotel and people in Glenfarg, Perthshire, Scotland. This is a small Scottish village in the Ochil Hills, South of Perth. The Temperance Scotland Act 1913 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom under which voters in small local areas in Scotland were enabled to hold a poll to vote on whether their area remained " wet " or went " dry, " that is, whether alcoholic drinks should be permitted or prohibited. The decision was made on a simple majority of votes cast. The Act was a result of the strong temperance movement in Scotland before the First World War. Brewers and publicans formed defence committees to fight temperance propaganda.
