Nana time-travelled to Ayrshire and found the Carrick smugglers

@hballantyne0 An overview of smuggling history on the Carrick Coast of Ayrshire, Scotland, in the 1700s. The whole community was involved in one way another: smuggling, enjoying the cheap goods, investing in the trade or looking the other-way. Our ancestors lived on the Carrick Coast and were heavily involved. That story is for the next video. Whisky & salt figure largely in the smuggling story. English taxes and excise men. Over a century of smuggling improved the Ayrshire economy and lifestyle of the community for three generations and then it stopped.
