This book provides the first exhaustive study of the great Scottish exodus to Canada written in modern times. Using wide-ranging sources, some previously untapped, Lucille Campey examines the driving forces behind the Scottish exodus and traces the remarkable progress of Scottish colonisers across Canada. Mythology and truth are considered side by side as their story unfolds. Scots had a profound impact on Canada and shaped the course of its history. This book is essential reading for those who wish to understand why they went and the enormity of their achievements in Canada.

Born in Ottawa, Lucille Campey now lives near Salisbury. Her father’s pride in his Scottish roots stimulated her interest in Scottish emigration to Canada. A graduate of Ottawa University, she later acquired a Doctorate from Aberdeen University for her studies of emigration history. She has written seven books thus far on the Scottish exodus to Canada.
