| Summary: | The question of the observance of the Sabbath as a day of rest arose most notably in Scotland during the Victorian period over the running of Sunday passenger trains. In the 1840s Sabbatarians were successful in stopping a passenger service between Edinburgh and Glasgow, but failed to prevent the introduction of a similar service in 1865. The controversy which was aroused over this issue in the 1860s has been called the ‘Sabbath War’ and it centred round Norman MacLeod, the celebrated minister of the Barony Church in Glasgow and one of Queen Victoria’s favourite preachers. |
