The whole set of stories revolves around the town of Thrums and more especially the members of one of the four churches in that community. The Auld Licht Kirk happens to be more hard core Calvinist's than any other group in Scotland at the time. In English they would be called the Old Light Church as they believed that the traditional morals of the church had been compromised and so they broke away from the proper Presbyterians. This group and there methods and traditions shows that people can live hard working, strict lives and still barely be about to survive.
