Opis

This is a succinct and accessible account of the Industrial Revolution in Scotland. Dr. Whatley's approach is largely comparative, with the Scottish experience of industrialization being placed within the context of the debate about the "British" Industrial Revolution. This study encompasses the whole of Scotland and assesses the nature and impact of early industrialization in the towns of the Borders and in Dundee, as well as in the Highlands and Islands. Social and economic causes and consequences are also fully considered.
