Poor Relief Beyond the Main Burghs, c. 1590–c. 1650

This chapter assesses the spread of relief provision beyond the large towns which led the way, considering both rural parishes and parishes containing smaller burghs. The chapter demonstrates that while the situation in rural parishes was far from rosy, especially in the early decades, most rural relief systems had developed strongly by the 1620s and 1630s, especially in international comparative terms. The kirk session was a uniquely effective institution in rural areas, providing personnel and regular administrative procedures in areas which would have otherwise lacked them. The scale of fundraising and range of poor assisted was often smaller than in urban parishes (unsurprisingly), but they did not operate closed or narrow systems of relief, or work in fundamentally different ways to urban parishes.

Title: Poor Relief Beyond the Main Burghs, c. 1590–c. 1650

Description:

This chapter assesses the spread of relief provision beyond the large towns which led the way, considering both rural parishes and parishes containing smaller burghs.

The chapter demonstrates that while the situation in rural parishes was far from rosy, especially in the early decades, most rural relief systems had developed strongly by the 1620s and 1630s, especially in international comparative terms.

The kirk session was a uniquely effective institution in rural areas, providing personnel and regular administrative procedures in areas which would have otherwise lacked them.

The scale of fundraising and range of poor assisted was often smaller than in urban parishes (unsurprisingly), but they did not operate closed or narrow systems of relief, or work in fundamentally different ways to urban parishes.
