I've been bangiing on about how much beeer (relatively) Scottish brewers exported. While here's some proof.

And what better to way to display these factss than in a table:

My apologies for the missing numbers. Some are proving tricky to track down. The ones that are there do tell a story. Basically that Scottish brewers were exporting proportionally about twice as much beer as their English colleagues.


More numbers will follow, as I find them.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5445569787371915337-7529817437523991402?l=barclayperkins.blogspot.com
