El. knyga: Scotland and Poland

This collection of essays explores more than five centuries of Scottish-Polish interactions. It focuses on the two main moments of contact: the early modern experiences of Scottish pedlars, merchants, mercenaries and diplomats in the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth and the Polish presence in Scotland during the twentieth and early twenty-first century. The latter period includes the Polish military presence in Scotland during World War II and the new Polish migration to Scotland after Poland's accession to the European Union in 2004. The book will be of interest to students and researchers who focus on the boom subject of early modern Scottish emigration to the European continent, and also to more general readers outside the scholarly community. It will be of value to the Polish community in Scotland and to anyone interested in the joint history of these two countries.

This new title is a comprehensive study of the past 500 years of Scottish-Polish interaction, focussing primarily on early modern experiences of Scottish traders and diplomats and Polish presence in Scotland in the 20th century. This scholarly work will be of most value to students and researchers, and the Polish community in Scotland.
