This pioneering volume focuses on the scale, territorial
trajectories, impact, economic relationships, identity and nature
of the Scottish-Asia connection from the late seventeenth century
to the present. It is especially concerned with identifying whether
there was a distinctive Scottish experience and if so, what effect
it had on the East. Did Scots bring different skills to Asia and
how far did their backgrounds prepare them in different ways? Were
their networks distinctive compared to other ethnicities? What was
the pull of Asia for them? Did they really punch above their weight
as some contemporaries thought, or was that just exaggerated
rhetoric? If there was a distinctive 'Scottish effect' how is that
to be explained?
