From Caledonia to the Pampas: Two Accounts by Early Scottish Emigrants to the Argentine – William…

Iain A.D. Stewart

William Grierson

Jane Robson

Although relatively few Scots ventured to the former Spanish and Portuguese dominions of Latin America, their cultural and economic importance to these emerging nations often belied their numerical deficiency. This text contains two records of Scottish Argentinian experience: William Grierson’s “The Voyage of the Symmetry” and “Faith Hard Tried: the Memoir of Jane Robson”.
