Biography:

MCVITIE, William (fl 1795-1818)

It is not certain that Whisky (a poem in dialect humorously accounting for the origins of whisky) and The Battle of Dryfe Sands were written by the same individual. No reliable biographical information has been located. A new edition of The Battle of Dryfe Sands was published in 1858. SR
