Professor Tom Devine: Scotland's Global Diaspora

For centuries, untold numbers of Scottish men, women and children have sought their fortunes in every conceivable walk of life and in every imaginable climate across the British Empire, the United States and elsewhere, from finance to industry, philosophy to politics. Covering the period from 1750 to 2010, Professor Tom Devine’s latest book, To the Ends of the Earth, puts this extraordinary epic centre stage, removing layers of myth and sentiment to reveal the startling truth.
