It begins with the unsuccessful colonizing efforts by the Scottish Baronets of Acadia, whose efforts would set the stage for later influxes of Scottish immigrants. Among them were veterans of the successful Jacobite Rising who established Highland communities throughout Canada. In the 19th century, displaced Scots from the Highlands, as well as tenant farmers and entrepreneurs, played a central role in the settlement of Western Canada. Their descendants often became involved in the booming fur trade, tirelessly mapping out and developing Canada's hinterlands. The book also discusses the contributions of prominent Scottish-Canadians to politics, finance, religion, and education, including Sir John A. Macdonald, the country's first prime minister. Ultimately, this book serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Scottish diaspora in shaping the identity of Canada.
