Description:
Henry Dundas, James Gillespie, George Watson. Scots made fortunes transporting so many people into slavery. So why do we still distance ourselves from this truth? For generations, the Scots prospered by using their human property to fund fabulous country homes, invest in ship building, iron smelting and coal mining. They ran a vicious propaganda campaign to protect the practice. But Scotland’s role in the slave trade remains a taboo. Join Kate Phillips, author of Bought and Sold: Scotland, Jamaica and Slavery, as she uncovers Scotland's dark past.
