Barracloughs

 Barracloughs is a story of domestic abuse in the down at heel 'Little Dublin' area of a fictionalised Kirkcudbright.  It is taken from a real murder story, repurposed by Crockett.  It mixes realism with sensationalism. 

The story was published in the 1908 volume The Bloom o' the Heather and can be downloaded to read in free digital (PDF) format HERE
