It deals with topics that have been at the centre of recent discussions on the Highland land question, the politics of the Irish community in Scotland, and the development of the labour movement in Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe author argues that the Irish activists in the Scottish Highlands and in urban Scotland should be seen as adherents to notions of social and economic reform, such as land nationalisation, and not as Irish nationalists or Home Rulers. This leads him to make radical reassessments of the contributions of individuals such as John Ferguson, Michael Davitt, and Edward McHugh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAndrew Newby looks closely at the political activities and ambitions of the Crofter MPs, showing them to be a widely influential but diverse group.
