Description

Upper Canada's first major Scottish settlement, Glengarry, was established in 1784 by Highlanders from Inverness-shire. Worsening economic conditions in Scotland, coupled with an increasing awareness of Upper Canada's opportunities, led to a growing tide of emigration. While individual settlements have been well observed, the overall picture has never been pieced together. Drawing on newe and wide-ranging sources, Campey charts the progressof Scottish settlement throughout Upper Canada. This book contains details of the 550 ships that made over 900 crossings and carried almost 100,000 emigrant Scots
