Graeme Morton shows that identity, like industry, is a key element in explaining the period. Ourselves and Others is about “us and them,” the dialectic of national identity formation. Alongside and linked to a history of Scotland’s national identity and of its political and social institutions is an account of the changing nature of the groups and structures that constitutes society within Scotland and the relationships between Scots at home and their culturally important diaspora.
