Description
The first ever book to strip away the myths and write the real history of Scotland’s slavery past
For more than a century and a half the real story of Scotland’s connections to transatlantic slavery has been lost to history and shrouded in myth. This book is the first detailed attempt to challenge these beliefs. Written by the foremost scholars in the field , with findings based on sustained archival research, the volume systematically peels away the mythology and radically revises the traditional picture. In doing so the contributors come to a number of surprising conclusions.
