"One of the largest European migrant groups to New Zealand, the Scots have contributed much to its evolving society. This book brings together essays on many aspects of Scottish settlement in New Zealand, including individual stories. It covers both nineteenth and twentieth-century migration, and includes chapters on the Scottish diaspora, bagpipes and Burns."--BOOK JACKET.
