This book uses original resources to uncover the valuable help
given to Britain's leaders and her elite by the Scot, John Drummond
of Quarrel. It reveals why he proved indispensable as a special
consultant and counsellor to statesmen, nobles and businessmen,
shows his devotion to the 1707 Union, and how he fed expansion of
Britain's Empire while spying on her enemies. His professionalism,
learned from the renascent culture of his beloved Scotland,
benefitted commercial society in Britain and Holland. The volume
argues that his contribution to a momentous, much discussed era was
extraordinary, and his activities boosted exchange of global
knowledge, to the particular benefit of Scotland.
