Review Quote

"This volume is indeed a welcome contribution furthering studies of the complex task of defining Scottish diaspora, and the relationships between those that emigrated, their descendants and Scotland. More than this, however, the volume raises the challenging question of what it means to be Scottish, an issue that is not merely historical but of current concern for the nation." -- Dr Scott Spurlock, University of Glasgow, History Scotland 'Edited by Angela McCarthy and John MacKenzie - both prolific scholars in the field of Scottish diaspora history themselves - the collection is, in essence, framed by the questions Sir Tom Devine has explored in his own work for several decades...the collection brings together established and younger scholars, as well as museum curators, to offer fascinating insights into diverse facets of the history of the Scots abroad by focusing on three framing themes: ethnicity; impact at home; and comparisons.'-- Tanja Bueltmann, SCOTIA
