Table of Contents

Like the first volume in the series, this collection of records is based on materials found in the Nova Scotia Archives and the Public Archives of New Brunswick, among others, and it draws together a unique collection of miscellaneous records pertaining to Scottish immigrants to the Maritime Provinces, naming several thousand people in the context of major life events such as birth, marriage, and death. In records ranging from newspaper announcements of marriages and deaths to cemetery records and censuses, and from ships passenger lists to land records, it provides a tableau of source material which is as unique as it is indispensable. Thousands are named who would otherwise be undetectable in traditional record sources.

In an illuminating introduction the author writes: The differences of religion and whether one was a Highlander or a Lowlander carried across the Atlantic to the Maritime Provinces of Canada. The Lowlander, more accustomed to towns and trade, gravitated to cities such as Halifax and Saint John, and the towns of Pictou, St. Andrews and Dalhousie. Much of the commercial life of early Atlantic Canada was conducted by Lowland Scots. This is apparent as we read through the newspaper death announcements and we notice that Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh turn up repeatedly among the urban and mercantile people.

The Highlander, by contrast, prevailed in rural districts. Similarly, people sorted themselves out by religion. The area around the Bay of Fundy, the Bras d'Or Lakes and Pictou attracted the Presbyterian elements, while Antigonish, much of the Gulf of St. Lawrence coastline, and parts of Prince Edward Island were heavily Roman Catholic.

With this background it is clear that Maritime Canada still bears the imprint of those thousands of immigrants who came from Scotland between the 1770s and the 1850s, and their collective memory remains alive and well.

Heavy and bit of a pain to put together
Color: Dark Gray, Size: 2 Panel "I"
This unit is better for an industrial or business setting. It's rather cumbersome and awkward to assemble. Needs to be kept stationary after putting it together, was not easy to move around once it was up.

Highly Customizable Modular Wall System
Color: Dark Gray, Size: 2 Panel "I"
The VIVO Modular Wall System is sturdy and easy to assemble. The semi-lightweight panels slide in and out of the modular frame. The panels are made of very strong and thick panels that provide a simple, good-looking room barrier. The dark grey tone of the privacy panels looks good with a multitude of interior decors. This product is suitable for commercial applications, but it can also be used for home use. I tested this product and installed it in my computer lab to create a private computer corner. I work better by having a cubicle area that is free from distractions. The VIVO modular wall system effectively gives me "blinders" so that the rest of my work area is not a distraction anymore.

This Modular Wall System is very nice!
Color: Dark Gray, Size: 2 Panel "I"
This VIVO Modular Wall System, 2 PET Panels, Modern Professional Office Cubicle Dividers, is very nice! It is super easy to set up and individually, they are not too heavy, yet heavy enough to not be knocked over easily. They are very versatile in the way you want to use them. Personally, I want to set a divider for my recording space, and my desk/work space for better efficiency when doing one or the other. It’s also great if you need a backdrop if you do any type of video recording. Beautifully designed wall systems, thanks!

Best choice!
Color: Charcoal Gray, Size: 66" Wide x 70" Tall Without Window
This workstation partition really was a good choice. It took me a bit of time to decide - I was looking for something reliable, noise absorbing, and professional-looking while also being space saving instead of the clunky typical cubicle walls. This was perfect! It successfully created 2 cubicle type units in a room that was anticipated to only be enough room for one cubicle. I am happy with it!
