Scottish Highlanders on the Eve of the Great Migration 1725-1775

This is part of a series by David Dobson designed to identify the origins of Scottish Highlanders who traveled to America prior to the Great Highland Migration that began in the 1730s and intensified thereafter. While the present volume is not a comprehensive directory of all the inhabitants of Perthshire during the mid-18th-century it does pull together references on more than 1200 18th-century inhabitants. Coverage extends to all regions within Perthshire. In all cases Mr. Dobson gives eachHighlander's name a place within Perthshire (birth residence employment etc.) a date and the source. In some cases we also learn the identities of relatives the individual's employment vessel traveled on and so forth.
