In the 18th century, Calton (no 'r') was a a village outside of Glasgow. It was set up as a weaving centre. In 1817 it became a Burgh and in 1846 it was incorporated in Glasgow itself. The reason it was set up as a weaving village outside of Glasgow was because it was beyond the reach of the weavers craft guild (union). In 1787 there was a massive strike by the weavers - about 7000. Lots of fighting and several left dead.
Over a period time between 1760 and 1830 there was also the Lowland Clearances going on. Farms were taken over by the British and labourers fled to the cities to find work...usually in the mills. Life was hard, poverty and disease and desperation were rife.
In 1815 over 4000 weavers and artisans fled the Scottish Lowlands and settled in Lanark County. Many more went on to areas near Kingston and into Peterborough. One wonders why they named the place they arrived at for the awful place they left! However Carleton Place (now with an 'r' and an 'e') and many other names from Scotland set up along the Rideau and the small lake area north of Kingston.
The song Nancy Whiskey, written c. 1960, is based on a not so long-ago traditional song. And being Scots it should be spelled without an 'e'. However it is not (some Irish labels spell Whiskey). And that is another whole debate.
