Scots in Southern Europe, 1600-1900: Spain, Portugal, Italy, the islands of the Western Mediterranean and the Atlantic

Description

This book identifies over 1,500 Scots who variously settled in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Madeira, Malta, Gibraltar, the Balearic Islands, the Azores, or the Canary Islands. For each emigrant we are given a name, place of residence, date, and a citation. Many of the entries also convey the identities of a parent, spouse, or other relation; occupation (student, soldier, merchant, professor, etc.); vessel traveled on; and so on. The author supports his list of travelers with a list of Scottish vessels, their captains, and the date and destination of at least one sailing to Southern Europe.
