Originally published in 1985, this book examines the extent of
Scottish migration and Scottish involvement in the process of
development. Although there are many books written on the Scots
abroad, this volume is unique in that it has a unifying theme: each
contributor has concentrated on the role played by the Scots in the
economic development of their relevant country or area which
include England, Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, India,
Latin America and Japan. This will be of interest to both social
and economic historians.
Originally published in 1987, this book examines how much
industrialisation improved the standard of living of the British
worker, based on the experience of one representative city:
Glasgow. It analyses whether there was an increase in skilled as
opposed to unskilled labour in major industrial centres – as for
example in Glasgow, manufacturing shifted from textiles to
engineering. Other important issues such as the rate of housing
construction, public health, local politics and leisure pursuits
are also considered. Glasgow has a long history of working-class
culture and is therefore a particularly interesting city to study.

This history of Burrell & Son of Glasgow describes the way in
which ship ownership and operation developed during the final years
of the age of sail and the beginning of the era of steamships. Not
only does the work contain background material on tramp shipping
commerce, it also includes a substantial database on ship building,
ownership, and operations during this period. The information will
be of interest to the maritime historian since it describes this
important era in detail, and to the business historian interested
in the strategy and structure of the shipping industry.
