This journal focuses on economic and social history, particularly within a Scottish context. While social history can have ethnographic or theoretical scope relevant to anthropology, economic history is generally less directly connected. It falls under cognate social sciences/humanities with regular but not central intersection

Scots in London in the 18th Century
Scotland's Black Diamonds: Heritage, Education, Entertainment and Commercialism
It is no secret that these are hard times for museums, especially those independent museums with industrial heritage as their remit. Those – communities, staff and volunteers – committed to the sector must live with the growing realisation that it may very well go the way of the industries it commemorates. Could such a climate foster an emphasis on maximising entrance fees, with commercialism and entertainment supplanting education? In the presen…
House Museums and Domestic Life Displays in Scotland
House museums, period room displays, and museums set within old houses account for about 150 of the 400 or so museums in Scotland at the turn of the twenty-first century, and objects of domestic life are shown in many more of the general museums. Their large number reflects in part the suitability of domestic buildings for museum purposes, but also the particular importance given to domestic life within British culture in the nineteenth and twent…

Enemies of God Revisited: Recent Publications on Scottish Witch-hunting
Great books are always great books, but there does come a point when the analysis they offer needs to be reconsidered or re-evaluated. Christian Larner’s, Enemies of God: The Witch-hunt in Scotland (1981) is a great book, arguably one of the most significant published in Scottish history in the last twenty-five years. Its influence has been felt not only within Scottish studies, but in the larger European debate on the experience of witch-hunting…

Faith in Diversity: The Flowering of Divergent Agendas in Recent Writing in the Social History of Religion in Late Modern Scotland
The writing of religious history has changed enormously in Scotland in the last fifty years. Early pioneers of a social history approach to the interaction of religion and society, such as L. J. Saunders in Scottish Democracy 1815–1840: the social and intellectual background (London, 1950), and the work of Stewart Mechie in his collection of essays The Church and Scottish Social development 1780–1870 (London, 1960), joined an early flowering of e…

Women and the Scottish Clerks' Association: From Contempt to Collegiality
First paragraph: This paper will trace the evolution of the attitudes expressed by the Scottish Clerks' Association (SCA) towards women in clerical work in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. For women trying to establish careers in office work it was necessary to be accepted as colleagues by men in organisations like the SCA. But, as Sylvia Walby noted, explanations of the increasing presence of women in clerical work in the late ni…

The Beginnings of Democratic Control of Local Education in Scotland
At a time when forms of increased democratic representation in local government have become the subject of contemporary concern, it is interesting to consider the historical beginnings in the nineteenth century of wider local representation. The then desire for such representation found its most effective expression in the elections that began in 1873 for local school boards, which surpassed all other existing forms of election to local governmen…

Rosalind Mitchison (1919–2002) and John Butt (1929–2002): An Appreciation
In the deaths of Rowy Michison and John Butt during 2002, the Scottish Economic and Social History Society lost two of its founder and formative members, two of the people who did most to develop the study of both Scottish History and the economic and social history of Scotland in the past half century. Rowy Mitchison and John Butt came from very different social backgrounds and their approaches to their discipline were also different, but each m…

The English Diaspora: Discovering Scotland's Invisible Migrants - 1945 to 2000
One of the most extraordinary omissions from Scottish historiography is a comprehensive and rigorous study of the impact of English-born migrants in Scotland. Paradoxically, the relationship between England and Scotland is a theme that constantly attracts the interest of historians. Yet, apart from isolated citations, English-born migrants, who form one of the largest migrant communities in Scottish history, have remained invisible from serious h…

The Economic Impact of Deer Forests in the Scottish Highlands 1850 - 1914
A visitor to Scotland might be forgiven for concluding that Highland history consisted of 'The Forty-Five' and 'The Clearances'. On the shelves of popular bookshops volumes of material on these themes are available and in historical journals they appear with remarkable regularity. Yet, apart from James Hunter's work little attention has been paid to the dramatic change in land-use in the late nineteenth century as sheep farms were cleared and con…

The Harvest of Oral History
Each of these three books is concerned with the recent social history of Scotland, and each appropriately draws substantially on living memory for evidence. But they present their 'oral history' in different styles. The most explicit is Odyssey, companion book to the 1980 BBC Scotland radio series, which opens with an introduction by its producer-editor Billy Kay arguing for the special importance of the oral history approach to Scottish history,…

Research on Scottish Economic and Social History in Australia
Australia seems to contribute to the study and writing of Scottish history in three ways. One is the work done by Australians in the mainstream of Scottish history, for instance on Scottish elections or Scottish business histories. The problem of the distance from the primary sources in Scotland is severe for sustained research of this sort. More feasible and manageable is the considerable research that occurs on the history of Scottish phenomena…

Modern Economic Growth and Structural Change in Scotland the Service Sector Reconsidered
Despite a profusion of texts on the development of the Scottish economy over the past two hundred years which have been published in recent years, together with Campbell's recent stimulating book-length interpretative essay on the subject, the problem of economic structural composition and structural change has been given only cursory treatment.' This is as surprising as it is unfortunate, because the nature and implications of structural change …
Reconsidering the Reformation Century
All these books are important studies which will have a long term influence on our understanding of Scotland in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. All are developed from doctoral theses. They open up major aspects of Scottish history which bear on social and economic problems as well as on political and ecclesiastical, and no-one will be able to write about the period of either the Reformation or the Great Rebellion in Scotland without cons…
Economic and Social History in Scotland a Register of Research 1982
Like the register of research published in the last issue of Scottish Economic and Social History, this current list supplements the comprehensive register in vol.1, no.l of the journal. It shows that a considerable research effort in economic and social history is still being sustained in Scotland and on Scottish themes outside Scotland, despite the difficulties currently facing further and higher education. Almost 250 researchers are active in …

Trade and Transport in the Economic Development of North-East Scotland in the Nineteenth Century
The north-east of Scotland1 never experienced an industrial revolution but it did undergo such substantial change in the course of the nineteenth century that its economic structure was altered fundamentally. New manufacturing industries did appear from the 1790s, such as cotton textiles, but they were not to be the basis of the region's prosperity, and many had ceased to be of significance by the mid-nineteenth century. The area lacked the depos…
