Scottish Emigration in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
This chapter examines Scotland through perspectives from T. C. Smout, Ned C. Landsman, and T. M. Devine. The 17th century is discussed by Smout, who emphasises the great scale and diversity of Scottish migration to Europe and Ireland before the Union with England in 1707. The 18th-century movement from the Lowlands is discussed by Landsman, who stresses both its probable scale and the difficulty of distinguishing Lowland Scots from the Scotch Iri…
The People of Glengarry: Highlanders in Transition, 1745-1820
Beginning in the middle of the 18th century, the Highlands of Scotland underwent radical social and economic change. The economic transformation - from a quasi-feudal community to a society ordered by modern capitalist forces - led to declining status for clansmen and the disruption of traditional social organizations. In a detailed study, Marianne McLean explores the relationship between economic changes in the Highlands and the clansmen's emigr…

Evangelists and Their Hearers: Popular Interpretation of Revivalist Preaching in Eighteenth-Century Scotland
The most persistent difficulty confronting historical interpreters of popular religion in the early modern world is that of establishing the relationship between ideas enunciated by religious leaders and those held by their hearers. The causes of that uncertainty are obvious; where historical materials for the former are plentiful, sources that address the latter are far more difficult to obtain. The great majority of evidence that we have concer…
