Description:In 1500, Scotland was a backward, impoverished country with a small population, an undeveloped economy and an indeterminate border with England. By 1800, the Industrial Revolution was in full swing; Scotland had become one of the most highly urbanized countries in Europe and its landscape had been radically altered by agricultural improvement. The Changing Scottish Landscape provides an analysis of these crucial centuries and examines the process by which the Scottish landscape changed in the transition from medieval to modern.Focusing directly on the countryside, Ian and Kathleen Whyte assess patterns of settlement and agriculture, and consider the widespread impact upon these by the first Improvers and the Agricultural Revolution. They examine the influence of the Church and the role played by improved communications and the rise of new industries.
