- catalog abstract ""Adventurers and Exiles tells the story of the emigrants from very diverse backgrounds, as well as looking at the wider context of restless mobility that had from the Middle Ages taken significant numbers of Scots to England and Europe. Particular attention is paid to the activities of recruitment agents and to controversial issues, such as the sponsored emigration of destitute children. The experience of the voyage is examined, as is the process of settlement, when emigrants had to confront the realities of life in the new world. The final chapter of this wide-ranging and wonderfully rich book focuses on the ways in which expatriate Scots all over the world fashioned ethnic anchors for themselves and considers the question - is there a recognizable Scottish identity in this diaspora?"--Jacket.".
