Adventurers and Exiles: The Great Scottish Exodus

Marjory Harper

In a book drawing on a rich variety of sources and research from all over the world, Marjory Harper considers all the major themes of this remarkable story. Who left? Why did they leave? How was this emigration organized and paid for? What was the (often appalling) journey like? Where did the emigrants go? What did they find there and what was their experience? What did the Scots bring to their new countries? Is there a recognisable Scottish identity in this diaspora?
