The author has often chosen to let common people speak-those people whose voice is seldom heard in traditional history books. Any book written about the history of the Scottish nation that would leave aside such significant events as the Union of Parliaments in 1707, the Jacobite risings of the first half of the 18th century, the Highland clearances, or the process of devolution would most definitely be described as incomplete. But a book about the history of Scotland in which the voices of the elites would be the only ones to be heard would be just as incomplete. The author hopes that his “wandering among words written by others” in temples to knowledge such as the National Archives of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland will ultimately lend new life to those fragments of the past without which it is impossible to understand the present.  aOpenEdition Books Licenseuhttps://www.openedition.org/12554 4aHistory 4ahistoire contemporaine 4avie agricole 4avie ouvrière 4ahistoire moderne 4aÉcosse 4ahistory 4aScotland 4aworking conditions0 x2608-4643  z978-2-86820-551-34 eAuer, Christianuhttps://books.openedition.org/pus/9785yScotland and the Scots, 1707-2007
