Scottish Emigration Primer from the BBC

If you need some basic facts about Scottish emigration and you need them in a hurry, then check out the Scottish History revision pages on Migration and Empire from the BBC.  There are four sections in this revision module:

• Immigration to Scotland 1830s-1939
• Experience of immigrants to Scotland 1880s-1939
• Scottish emigration 1830s-1939
• Experience of Scots abroad 1830s-1939

Each section opens with a nifty infographic which is then followed by brief historical context and examples. Since these pages are geared towards students who should already be familiar with the material (hence the visuals and brief text) they are perfect for advanced students or interested adults who want to get the heart of the matter in little time.

I hope these pages inspire you to learn more.
