Scotland and the Low Countries 1124-1994

A collection of thirteen essays which presents historical approaches to the links which have existed for the last 800 years between Scotland and the Low Countries.

Covering such disparate topics as Flemish settlers in twelfth-century Scotland, contacts between Scottish patrons and fifteenth-sixteenth century Netherlandish painters, and twentieth-century comparisons in the realms of social housing and oil exploration, the book adds valuable detail to the much-debated subject of Scotland within Europe.
