This exhibition describes the trials and tribulations of an eighteenth century merchant / landowner against the background of the Kirkcudbright tobacco trade, the smuggling trade and the slave trade. David Currie was bankrupted by his association with John Park of Ayrshire and Roscoff in France, John Christian, former cashier of the ill-fated Douglas-Heron (Ayr) Bank et al. in a slave trading scheme based on the Island of Dominica in the West Indies. In an attempt to raise money he borrowed £400 from the Mull of Galloway Smuggling Company, who in return rented his land at Balcary Bay.
