Synopsis
Excerpt from Rural Scotland During the War
The following studies find their main point of departure in the question of food production, partly through the fishing industry, partly in the varied forms of Scottish agricultural operations. Each of these opens up various subsidiary inquiries (and especially the latter) which lead on to the discussion of the position of the agricultural labourer during the war and (partly as supplementing that discussion) the movement towards the arrest of rural depopulation with special refer ence to the settlement of ex-service men on the land. Lastly, by way of addendum, a study of the jute industry of Dundee is included, on the ground that though this is a trade carried on in factories, it has a peculiarly close relation to agricultural conditions, being intimately related with these in the supply of its raw material and also in the demand for the larger part of its finished product. The main exception to the latter rule is that a war operates somewhat paradoxically, like a good world harvest, in increasing the demand for manufactured jute.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of economic and social studies relating to Scotland during the first World War. It begins with an analysis of the fishing industry, which faced severe disruption at the outbreak of hostilities. Despite the challenges, the industry was able to adapt and contribute to the war effort by providing food and naval support. The following chapters examine the impact of the war on Scottish agriculture, with a particular focus on the crucial role of farmers and agricultural laborers in maintaining domestic food production. The book then turns to the issue of land settlement, exploring the efforts to address the longstanding problem of rural depopulation and the new opportunities created by the post-war demand for smallholdings. Finally, the book concludes with a study of the jute industry in Dundee, highlighting its close ties to agricultural production and the challenges it faced during the war. Altogether, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the economic and social changes experienced by Scotland during the first World War, providing valuable insights into the country's resilience and the ways in which its industries and people adapted to unprecedented circumstances.
