Abstract
With this book Tom Devine completes a trilogy of three substantial volumes which have enlarged and illuminated Scottish history since 1600. (The others are Scottish Empire 1600-1815 and The Scottish Nation 1700-2000.) All of them have been based on Devine's wide and deep research. This new volume is a study of the worldwide dispersal of Scots to many parts of the world, especially North America, India and Australia. As Devine says in his Preface, the difference between this book and its predecessors is that it is not confined to the Empire. 'My contention here is that Scots were never limited to the formal Empire as migrants and adventurers. They were a global people whose diasporic roots were established in medieval and early modern Europe and then spread across the world.'
