The history of Scotland at St Andrews is taught with an eye to the European context that has shaped the indigenous culture and institutions of the country. The period from 1600 to 1750 witnessed large-scale migration from Scotland to a variety of destinations including Scandinavia, Poland-Lithuania and the Dutch Republic. The motivation for these movements can only be understood if viewed through both Scottish and Continental lenses. As such, this module profiles the European states with which Scotland developed enhanced relations be they political, commercial, official or unofficial. It concludes with consideration of the changing axis of Scottish migration to Asia and the Transatlantic world.
