Scots in Asia

Asia 

Scots in Asia is a broad topic that covers the historical and cultural connections between Scotland and various Asian countries, especially India and Pakistan. Some of the aspects of this topic are: 

• Scotland’s hidden South Asian heritage, which explores the stories of Scottish families who migrated from the Indian subcontinent after the partition of 1947. 

• Scotland’s role in the British Empire in Asia, especially through the English East India Company, which employed many Scots as traders, administrators, soldiers, and scholars in the 18th and 19th centuries. 

• Scotland’s contribution to Orientalist studies, which involved the research and teaching of Asian languages, literature, history, and religion by Scottish scholars and missionaries.
