Reviews

Will be welcomed by historians of the Scottish diaspora and those interested in Australian migration....A book that will be read with profit.
*ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW*

A highly readable book [which] makes a significant contribution to the field of Scottish migration, revealing without doubt the extent to which it must be regarded as an entirely separate and distinctive diaspora.
*JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES*

[This] book offers important new insights into the settlement of Scots in Australia, their networks, their culture, and, in a particularly important chapter, their interactions with, and impact on, indigenous Australians. . . . Wilkie's study is a well-written and nicely presented examination of one of Australia's most significant foundational migrant groups.
*AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW*

A fresh and engaging excursion through the gloaming of Scottish Australia.
*AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL STUDIES*
