The author has often chosen to let common people speak-those people whose voice is seldom heard in traditional history books. Any book written about the history of the Scottish nation that would leave aside such significant events as the Union of Parliaments in 1707, the Jacobite risings of the first half of the 18th century, the Highland clearances, or the process of devolution would most definitely be described as incomplete. But a book about the history of Scotland in which the voices of the elites would be the only ones to be heard would be just as incomplete. The author hopes that his ?wandering among words written by others? in temples to knowledge such as the National Archives of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland will ultimately lend new life to those fragments of the past without which it is impossible to understand the present. 606 $aHistory 606 $ahistoire contemporaine 606 $avie agricole 606 $avie ouvrière 606 $ahistoire moderne 606 $aÉcosse 606 $ahistory 606 $aScotland 606 $aworking conditions 610 $aScotland 610 $ahistory 610 $aworking conditions 615 4$aHistory 615 4$ahistoire contemporaine 615 4$avie agricole 615 4$avie ouvrière 615 4$ahistoire moderne 615 4$aÉcosse 615 4$ahistory 615 4$aScotland 615 4$aworking conditions 700 $aAuer$b Christian$01281509 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910341148903321 996 $aScotland and the Scots, 1707-2007$93026022 997 $aUNINA
