Aos Dàna - 'The Scottish Exodus' - Dr James Hunter
James Hunter is an author, historian and commentator with a long-standing interest in rural development. His groundbreaking account of Scotland's worldwide diaspora is based on unpublished documents, letters and family histories. 'Scottish Exodus'' is a tale of horror and hardship, disastrous voyages, famine and dispossession: the hazards of pioneering on faraway frontiers. But, it is also the moving story of how people separated from Scotland by hundreds of years and thousands of miles continue to identify with the small country where their global journeys began.Date: 31/07/06
