Kirkcaldy Beer Duties Act 1741
The Kirkcaldy Beer Duties Act 1741 (15 Geo. II, c.8) was an Act of Parliament of the Parliament of Great Britain passed in 1742.[1]
The Act placed a duty on all beer brewed or sold within the town of Kirkcaldy, which was set at two pennies Scots, or one-sixth of a penny sterling, on each Scots pint (about three imperial pints) of beer.[2]
The Act was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1948.[3]
