Opis

Northern Scotland is an established scholarly journal that has been in existence since 1972, also available in book format. While it carries material of a mainly historical nature, from the earliest times to the modern era, it is a cross-disciplinary publication, which also addresses cultural, economic, political and geographical themes relating to the Highlands and Islands and the north-east of Scotland. It contains substantial articles and book reviews, as well as interviews and reports of research projects in progress.
Containing a variety of articles, reports, opinion pieces and reviews, Volume 6 (May 2015) considers crofting, visual culture and the integration of the elite and wider communities of the Northern Highlands, space and place in 18th Century Northern Isles as well as the children of 'free coloured' women and Highland Scots in Guyana.
