This book explores the ordinary daily routines, behaviours,
experiences and beliefs of the Scottish people during a period of
immense political, social and economic change. It underlines the
importance of the church in post-Reformation Scottish society, but
also highlights aspects of everyday life that remained the same, or
similar, notwithstanding the efforts of the kirk, employers and the
state to alter behaviours and attitudes. Drawing upon and
interrogating a range of primary sources, the authors create a
richly coloured, highly-nuanced picture of the lives of ordinary
Scots from birth through marriage to death. Analytical in approach,
the coverage of topics is wide, ranging from the ways people made a
living, through their non-work activities including reading,
playing and relationships, to the ways they experienced illness and
approached death. This volume: *Provides a rich and finely nuanced
social history of the period 1600-1800 *Gets behind the politics of
Union and Jacobitism, and the experience of agricultural and
industrial 'revolution' *Presents the scholarly expertise of its
contributing authors in a accessible way *Includes a guide to
further reading indicating sources for further study
