The Scots Who Left Scotland in the Twentieth Century, published by Luath Press, won the Frank Watson Prize and was shortlisted for the Saltire Society Prize.

Marjory Harper’s remarkably wide-ranging and centuries-spanning account of emigration from Scotland’s Northern Isles is made all the more gripping by its extensive use of emigrants’ own words. This is groundbreaking history with a human face. JAMES HUNTER, Emeritus Professor of History, University of the Highlands and IslandsHarper’s elegant prose and pinpoint analysis reveal the bravery and determination of those who left the Northern Isles for a new future, and the many who returned home. A remarkable history, expertly told. GRAEME MORTON, Professor of Modern History, University of Dundee
