Scottish Society, 1707-1830 challenges much conventional wisdom and
provides readers with many new insights into Scottish social and
economic history.. Argues that the Union of 1707 was vital for
Scottish success, but in ways which have hitherto been overlooked..
Contests received wisdom on issues such as the role of the Kirk and
other agencies for inculcating order, and argues that the
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in Scotland were years of
upheaval and deep social conflict in both the Highlands and
Lowlands, where commercialism and later the market economy
revolutionised social relationships.. The period surrounding the
Radical War in 1820 is identified as a watershed in Scottish
history, almost making but also breaking the Scottish working
class.. Not only on an exhaustive reading of secondary material but
also incorporates a wealth of new evidence from previously
little-used or unused primary sources. -- .
