Product DescriptionThe Flemish are among the most important if underappreciated immigrant groups to have shaped the history of medieval and early modern Scotland. Originating in Flanders, Northern Europes economic powerhouse (now roughly Belgium and the Netherlands), they came to Scotland as soldiers and settlers, traders and tradesmen, diplomats and dynasts, over a period of several centuries following the Norman Conquest of England in the eleventh century.Several of Scotlands 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 migrs. Adaptable and creative people, Flemish immigrants not only adjusted to Scotlands very different environment, but left their profound mark on the countrys 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.About the AuthorAlexander Fleming is an economist by training and occupation, having held positions at the Bank of England, University of St Andrews and the World Bank.
