How did a nation remake itself after 1707? In James Mackinnon's clear-eyed account, Scotland's streets, workshops, and households take centre stage. This is history, lived daily. The Social and Industrial History of Scotland, from the Union to the Present Time is a social history book with the reach of a scholarly history monograph: part narrative, part evidence-led survey. Moving from the union to modern era, it offers an economic history overview of how land, wages, schooling, belief, and politics shaped working class conditions. It ranges from rural economy to urban industry, from the kirk session to the town council, showing how institutions and habits evolved. Farms, fisheries, mines, and mills sit beside questions of health, housing, and migration. For anyone seeking a grounded view of how prosperity and hardship were made, Mackinnon writes with measured judgement and an eye for long-term patterns across the country and its islands. He traces the rise of trade and manufacturing, the pull of cities, and Scotland's place in the British Industrial Revolution, connecting local detail to wider UK social history without losing the human scale. Long valued as a Scottish history textbook and a dependable history reference book, this study maps the forces behind social change in Scotland and explains why Scotland after 1707 mattered to Britain and the world. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
