Description

Explore the hidden historical connections between Scotland and India in this academic work by Roger Jeffery. While Edinburgh appears to be a purely Scottish city, this book reveals a deep and lasting link that began in the late 17th century. Through ten original and well-researched essays, the text brings to life the presence of India in the Scottish capital. Readers will learn how many young men and women from Edinburgh were drawn to India, and what they brought back to their home city. The book details the flow of money, knowledge, sculpture, paintings, and botanical specimens that shaped the city. It even covers the arrival of more unusual items like skulls. From the legacy of Colonel James Skinner, founder of Skinner's Horse, to the education of his sons in Edinburgh, this collection provides a unique look at how these two distant worlds interacted over hundreds of years.
