Rather than a genealogical study, it presents vibrant anecdotes and family histories, supported by over a hundred historic black-and-white illustrations. The narrative flows seamlessly across diverse landscapes and societal roles, offering an engaging and scholarly insight into the resilience and achievements of Scots in the Antipodes.
