Building the Promised Land
E W Mcfarland, Elaine McfarlandARTICLETwentieth Century British History2011
The main theme of this article is the interaction between physical and spiritual reconstruction in the post-war decades. During this period, Scotland witnessed a massive public housing drive, resulting in large-scale population movement. The Church of Scotland viewed this as both a challenge to its role as a national church and as an opportunity for church renewal. Part of a much larger religious boom in Western Europe and North America, the Chur…

This article focuses on Scotland's engagement with the imperial project through the medium of its commemoration of the second South African War. It focuses on both the process of commemoration and its outputs. These included a rich and varied range of military and civic memorials, some traditionally monumental, others with a more functional intent, including educational and welfare projects. The collective memory of the war which they articulated…
The Church of Scotland's Special Commission on Communism, 1949–1954
E W Mcfarland, Elaine Mcfarland et al.ARTICLEContemporary British History2009Cited by: 2References: 13
This article analyses the origins, aims and impact of the Church of Scotland's Special Commission on Communism, 1949–1954. The case study not only extends our understanding of Christianity's response to the Cold War, but also helps underline organised religion's complex engagement with modern secular society, which communism was believed to represent in an extreme form. Rather than an outburst of crude McCarthyism, the Commission's work actually …
Empire-Enlarging Genius’
Open AccessE W Mcfarland, Elaine McfarlandARTICLEWar in History2006
The article examines Scotland’s engagement with the Boer War, through the medium of Imperial Yeomanry detachments raised locally between 1900 and 1902. Drawing partly on data from surviving attestation forms, a picture is built up of the recruitment profiles, enlistment motivations, and war experiences of these ‘soldier-citizens’. This volunteering phenomenon is placed in the context of the Scottish military tradition and popular empire loyalty. …
Clyde opinion on an old controversy
E W Mcfarland, Elaine McfarlandARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies1991Cited by: 4References: 6
Indian and Chinese seafarers hold an important place in the history of the migration of people of Asian origin to Scotland. As transient labour with a disadvantaged politico-legal status, these seafarers constituted a highly exploitable workforce and their appearance in Glasgow from the late 1850s bears testimony to the city's close links to the colonial system. Responses to the group shifted in the early-twentieth century as missionizing impulse…
