Wotherspoon, Ian

Ian Wotherspoon spent nearly thirty years in Asia and the Pacific before returning to his native Scotland where he teaches at the University of Edinburgh. Dr. Wotherspoon has written extensively about the Scottish diaspora and the influence overseas of Scottish education. To mark China's resumption of sovereignty in Hong Kong in 1997, he co-authored with Sally Blyth the best-selling Hong Kong Remembers which was published by Oxford University Press in 1996, and in translation as Shuo ba, Xianggang in 1999.
