Product Description

Product Description
A dazzling account of Scotland's role in the world by Scotland's bestselling historian. The Scots had an enormous impact on the global development of the British Empire as emigrants, soldiers, merchants and colonial administrators. Scotland's Empire provides a comprehensive examination of their crucial role during the formative era of the long eighteenth century. The book ranges from the Americas to Australia and from the Caribbean islands to India. It explores in depth many key themes including the slave trade, the Scots on the colonial frontier, Highland soldiers, the saga of the Ulster Scots, the effect of the Scottish Enlightenment and the connection between empire and the economic revolution in Scotland itself.

About the Author
T.M. Devine is University Research Professor and Director of the Research Institute of Irish and Scottish Studies at the University of Aberdeen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making the past a pleasure, 23 Sep 2004
By H. W. Wright "bravegael" (Stirling United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Devine's abiblity to enthuse the reader comes to the fore in this book. He deftly takes you on a journey across the globe, as he skilfully and imaginatively recounts the role the Scots played in creating and expanding the British Empire.

This has to be one of the most readable histories on any bookshelf. It will appeal to both the serious scholar and historian, as well as to the general reader.

A definate "must" for every Christmas "wish list"
