The knowledge that some ancestor was Scottish brings hundreds of thousands annually to Scotland, to visit a country with which they still feel a strong tie. Why did the Scots emigrate? Where did they go at different periods ? And how did they fare when they arrived? Though the notorious Highland Clearances of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are popularly supposed to have been the chief cause of emigration, Scots in fact were leaving their native land for foreign parts in medieval times. The Teits in Finland (still a common Finnish name) are descended from Jacobus Tait of East Lothian, who settled in Finland in the thirteenth century. Scots served with the French in the Hundred Years War, married, and remained, their names becoming absorbed into the language (de Gaulle from Dougal). In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Scots spread throughout Scandinavia and Europe as far as Russia. With the opening of the New World they soon travelled west, sometimes involuntarily as indentured servants, sometimes in positions of power. But it was during the great 'emigration century' from 1775~1875 that successive waves of hardy, adaptable Scots sailed to the developing settlements in North America and the Antipodes, leaving behind famine and unemployment and looking for a better future The USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as South Africa and India, owe them much. Indicating the world~wide spread of the Scots and their enormous contribution to the lands where they settled, Michael Brander outlines a heritage of which all those of Scottish descent, whether living in Scotland or abroad, can feel Justly proud. Michael Brander was born in Edinburgh, although his family came from Moray in the heart of the Speyside country. After service in the Second World War he returned to Scotland where he bred and trained horses and gun~dogs. He has written on many aspects of Scottish life. "By means of vigorous anecdotes and easily digested linking material, the author has attempted to recreate the entire history of the Scottish Highlands from their geological inception to the present day . The historical background is skilfully portrayed, accurately. The numerous illustrations, ancient and modern, are splendid." ~Alexander Maitland, Country Life.
