DESCRIPTION:'The history of Canada is to a certain extent the history of th
 e Scots in Canada’ (The Scottish Tradition in Canada\, 1976). Is this stat
 ement an example of exaggerated ethnic conceit or does it have any basis i
 n fact and argument? This lecture will return to the primary evidence to t
 ry and come to grips with the historical realities of the Scottish impact 
 on Canadian economic\, political\, religious and cultural development. The
  analytical lens will then broaden to explore the significance of the Scot
 tish factor in the Atlantic and Asian empires and how far that is reflecte
 d in the Canadian experience.\n\nSir Tom Devine OBE is Professor Emeritus 
 in the University of Edinburgh and long regarded as Scotland’s preeminent 
 historian. Sir Tom has written and published on all aspects of Scottish hi
 story\, from the Middle Ages through to the modern day. He is a frequent m
 edia commentator and active campaigner on issues as diverse as Scottish in
 dependence\, protection of battlefield sites\, Brexit\, Scotland’s diaspor
 a\, and much more.\n\nReception to follow\n\n \n
