Society Publications
In 2005, the Society produced The Transformation of Scotland: the economy since 1700, edited by T M Devine, C H Lee and G C Peden and published by Edinburgh University Press. It is the first comprehensive history of the Scottish economy to appear in a generation. Fresh interpretations are revealed on such key issues as the impact of the Union of 1707, the Clearances, the rise and fall of Scottish heavy industry, and the recent transformation of the Scottish economy. Full treatment is given to agriculture, finance, industry and the service sector.
The Transformation of Scotland is described by Christopher A Whatley, Professor of Scottish History at the University of Dundee as: “…a useful book that … brings the historiography of the post-1700 Scottish economy up to date. As usual with surveys of this nature, it reveals under-researched topics and debates that are still unresolved, but that is no bad thing.”
