Book Description
In his account book, Andrew Hunter wrote: "Andrew Hunter is my name and for to write I think no shame at turmoil July 4th 1761 year of God. Andrew Hunter with my hand." He was born and raised in Glencairn, Dumfries, Scotland, the second son of Robert Hunter and Agnes Coltart. Hunter grew up during the Scottish Enlightenment which was characterized by a growing number of scientific and intellectual accomplishments. By the age of 33, Andrew Hunter married Janet Amos of Moffat and they would have seven children who were all born in Glencairn Parish. Hunter worked as a building contractor on various estates including Crawfordton and in Wanlockhead and Leadhills. He also worked for numerous individuals in the surrounding parishes. According to his detailed account book this work began in 1757 and lasted until 1786. Interestingly, the last entry in his book was his own cure for fever. He eventually relocated to Penpont Parish where he worked showing potential tenants around various properties that were available to rent. This shows that Andrew Hunter was widely respected by the land owners and others in his community to be entrusted with this position. This then is the narrative of the life and times of Andrew Hunter.
