Scotland and the Flemish People
Scotland and the Flemish People
Several of Scotland's major families - the Flemings, Murrays, Sutherlands, Lindsays and Douglases for instance- claim elite Flemish roots, while many other families arrived as craftsmen, mercenaries and religiously persecuted emigres. Adaptable and creative people, Flemish immigrants not only adjusted to Scotland's very different environment, but left their profound mark on the country's economic, social and cultural development. From pantiles to golf, from place names to town planning, the evidence of Flemish influence is still readily traceable in Scotland today.
This book examines the nature of Flemish settlement in Scotland, the development of economic, diplomatic and cultural links between Scotland and Flanders, and the lasting impact of the Flemish people on Scottish society and culture.
