Review
'Enjoyable and richly illustrated' - Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times 'A very brave book which debunks many of the myths on which Scottish martyrdom is based ... The research alone makes this book hugely impressive ... A very entertaining book and a sobering one' - Gerard DeGroot, Scotland on Sunday 'A serious and informative book, packed with detail ... drawing on a wide range of sources, and enlivened with apt quotations and anecdotes' - Allan Massie, Literary Review 'The Scots were among the world's great emigrant nations with a huge impact on the USA, Canada, Asia, Australasia and elsewhere, yet effective studies of the Scottish diaspora are still few and far between. So I welcome Marjory Harper's important and stimulating overview' - T. M. Devine, author of the best-selling The Scottish Nation; A History 1700 - 2000
