The Industrial Revolution in Scotland is the first new student text
on this subject for more than two decades. While the focus is on
Scotland, Dr Whatley's approach is largely comparative and he
places the Scottish experience of industrialisation within the
context of the debate about the 'British' Industrial Revolution.
Unusually, Dr Whatley's study encompasses the whole of Scotland and
assesses the nature and impact of early industrialisation in the
woollen manufacturing towns of the Borders and in Dundee, the
Scottish centre of linen production. He also examines the Highlands
and Islands, upon which industrial development had a profound
impact, and which arguably suffered more than any other region in
Britain, as the economy became more centralised from the 1820s.
Social as well as the economic causes and consequences of the
Industrial Revolution are also fully considered.
