First published in 1955, A History of the Scottish Miners recounts
the peculiar circumstances of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, and the laws that placed the miners under conditions
unique in Europe. Carrying onto the nineteenth century, the author
deals with the first trade unions, the period of Alexander McDonald
and Keir Hardie, ending in the great strike of 1894 and the
formation of the Scottish Miners' Federation, embracing eight
county associations. From 1894 onwards, Robert Smillie led the
Scots in good times and bad, up to the ordeal of the First World
War. The effect in Scotland of the great lockouts of 1921 and 1926,
with Robert Smillie no longer chairman of the British miners but
still the leader in Scotland, is set out in detail. Then after a
time of troubles, the Scots miners developed their organisations
during the war and, before its end, under new leaders, they
achieved a single union for Scotland. This book will be of interest
to students of history, sociology, economics and political science.
