Synopsis

Muslims in Scotland gives an unrivalled chronicle of Scotland's historic relationship with the Muslim community. It traces the Muslims course from perilous arrival as mainly pedlars with a mere toehold in the host culture to established contributors to Scotland's cultural life. The rise of mosques from rooms above shops and in community halls to established purpose-built landmarks on the skylines of our towns and cities is evidence of Islam's accepted presence in Scotland's religious and cultural life.
