The Sheriffdom of Tarhert. 49 This was the nearest approa'ch to the compulsory- system of the Continent that our country has ever adopted. All able-bodied men were required, on penalty of a fine, to attend these gatherings at the proper time and place, provided with weapons and armour suitable to the rank of the individual, and they were held on the same day all over the country, lest the same weapons, &c., should be made use of by different persons, thus leading to a deficiency which could onl...y be discovered when they were called out for active service. In order that the Government might have a thorough knowledge of the military capabilities of each district, the Sheriffs, Bailies, &c., were ordered to send a complete list of the muster and of the weapons to the Regent, within forty days after the Wappinschaw, under a penalty of one hundred marks. Certain persons were appointed to co- operate with the above officers in receiving the musters, examining the arms, &c., and we find that those who were commissioned at this time to act in the Sheriffdom of Tarbert were James Campbell, of Ardkinglas, and Dugald Campbell, of Auchinbreck.
