The Scottish Reform Act 1832 was an Act of Parliament that introduced wide-ranging changes to the election laws
of Scotland. The act was passed at approximately the same time as the Reform Act 1832, which applied to
England and Wales. The chief architects of the act were Francis Jeffrey and Henry Cockburn. It was subsequently
given the official (short!) title of the Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1832.
Scottish Reform and Duke of Perth appear in “Tunes of Glory”, a 1960 British film based on the novel and
screenplay by James Kennaway. Described as a ‘dark psychological drama’, it centres on events in a Scottish
Highland regimental barracks in the period following WWII. The film stars Alec Guinness and John Mills and
‘introduces’ Susannah York.
“Tunes of Glory” was shot at Shepperton Studios, London with some location shots done at Stirling Castle in
Scotland, which was the actual location where James Kennaway served with the Gordon Highlanders. Although
the production was initially offered broad co-operation to film within the castle from the commanding officer
there, as long as it didn't disrupt the regiment's routine, after seeing a lurid paperback cover for Kennaway's
book, that co-operation evaporated, and the production was only allowed to shoot distant exterior shots of the
castle.
