Highland Scots to access the Empire and its benefits. It explores
from a range of perspectives the impact that these Scots had, as
sojourners and settlers, on the different places they encountered.
It is also a book about the present-day legacies of their
engagements with Empire, and of the ongoing process of forging
social and cultural identities with Highland roots. The volume
presents rigorous and insightful new research from both
well-established and early career scholars, accompanied by
commentary on the research and the issues it raises from a range of

contribution our understanding of the role of Highland Scots,
influenced significantly by their culture and language, in creating
the Empire and its legacies. It advances knowledge of just how
diverse the impacts of Highland Scots were on forging landscapes
and lifescapes across the Atlantic, and how their exposure to the
colonial world influenced and reshaped their Diasporic identities.
While the British Empire was a collaboration of diverse interests,
this book will shed light on one important interest: the Highland
one.
