For Bennett Graff

Some general sources on Scottish smuggling, although some of them are not
that substantial, include:

Frances Wilkins, _Strathclyde's Smuggling Story_ (1992);
France Wilkins, _The Smuggling Story of Two Firths (Montrose to Dunbar)_
(1993);
Frances Wilkins, _Dumfries and Galloway's Smuggling Story_ (1993).

Wilkins has also edited Scottish Customs and Excise Records (from 1707).

See also John A Thomson, _The Smuggling Coast: the customs port of
Dumfries_ (1989).

Duncan Forbes, _Some Consideration of the Present State of Scotland_ (1744)
has something to say about smuggling, but this might be too early for
your purposes.
