Despite signing the Act of Union in 1707, Scotland remained very much a law unto herself, economically, politically, socially and culturally.

The Drove Roads of Scotland

ISBN: 9781912476534
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
One of the great classics of Scottish history, The Drove Roads of Scotland interweaves folklore, social comment and economic history in a fascinating account of Scotland's droving trade and the routes by which cattle and sheep were brought from every corner of the land to markets in central Scotland. In pastoral Scotland, the breeding and movement of livestock were fundamental to the lives of the people. The story of the drove roads takesthe reader on an engrossing tour of Scottish history, from the lawless cattle driving by reivers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to the legitimate movement of stock which developed after the Union of the Crowns, by which time the large-scale movement of stock to established markets had become an important part of Scotland's economy, and a vital aspect of commercial life in the Empire.

Pages : 252
Book Description
Sir James Fergusson of Kilkerran Bt (1904-1973), for twenty years Keeper of the Records of Scotland, was a distinguished historian and author whose many original explorations of events, figures and families prominent in Scottish history still bring the past fascinatingly to life. The first of three studies, Lowland Lairds he presents a broad portrait of country gentry in Eighteenth Century Scotland, still backward in accepting and practising the new agriculture. Sir James's account of the work carried out by his own ancestors at Kilkerran in Ayrshire is drawn from his extensive family papers. It tells the story of the development of a country estate typical of many in Scotland at the time.
