Scots in Latin America (Scottish Emigration c1800s) by David DobsonAlthough Scots are known to have ventured to Latin America as early as 1540 (mostly as soldiers of fortune), emigration from Scotland to Latin America only began in earnest after Spanish power in the western hemisphere began to wane. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, demobilized soldiers and sailors, Scots among them, flocked to aid the Latin American revolutionaries in their fight for liberty from Spain.

Although Scots are known to have ventured to Latin America as early as 1540 (mostly as soldiers of fortune), emigration from Scotland to Latin America only began in earnest after Spanish power in the western hemisphere began to wane. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, demobilized soldiers and sailors, Scots among them, flocked to aid the Latin American revolutionaries in their fight for liberty from Spain. Spain's ouster removed restrictions on immigration, with the result that Scottish passengers and investors flocked to the area. As early as 1825, for example, the Norval, the Symetry, and the Harmony set sail for Argentina with Scottish bricklayers, implement makers, blacksmiths, farmers, and other skilled tradesmen.

David Dobson's latest volume on Scottish emigration is the first work to enumerate the members of this 19th-century exodus. Dobson's findings are based on primary sources in Scotland, especially documents in archives, newspapers, and cemetery transcriptions. The settlers, with annotations, are listed in alphabetical order by surname. While there is considerable variance from description to description, each entry identifies the passenger by country (and sometimes city) of origin, a date when the immigrant was known to have resided in Latin America, and the source of the information. The majority of the entries also provide one or more of the following pieces of information: occupation, age, parent(s)' name(s), place of birth in Scotland, and date of arrival in Latin America. Researchers will be interested to learn that 19th-century Scotsmen turned up in a number of Latin American countries, including Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, British Guiana, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. In identifying more than 1,500 Scots immigrants to Latin America, Mr. Dobson's latest book does not purport to be the definitive work on its subject; nonetheless, it unquestionably breaks new ground for students of immigration and Scottish genealogy.

Beautiful, Versatile Boot
Size: 8.5, Color: Cyprus Tan
Versatile boots for business wear. The calf profile is sleek and slim so they are wearable under straight cut pants but also look beautiful paired with a midi skirt and sweater. I am 5’6” and 145 lbs. These stop right below my kneecap and have just enough room in the calf to slide up my leg but stay in place. I am usually a size 8 and originally purchased an 8 in these boots but found the toe too short and narrow. When I sized up to an 8.5 the toe bed was comfortable and roomy. Heel is just high enough to give a dressed up look but is still comfortable to walk in.

These are a great pair of boots that run true to size. Genuine leather as they do conform to fit. Hell height is perfect on these boots and are wearable 6 to 8 hours easily with no pain. I make sure to condition the leather on my boots before wearing and after every 2nd to 3rd wearing stuff the bootsto store them.

Buttery soft, comfortable and the perfect height!!!
Size: 10.5, Color: Black Leather, Size: 10.5, Color: Black Leather
I ripped these out of the box as soon as they arrived lol 😂 I knew they were the black knee high boots that I wanted to have as a staple in my Fall closet. They did not disappoint! The stitching is impeccable, they are buttery soft from top to bottom, they are the signature San Edelman design, the heel is perfect – it’s not clunky it’s sleek, but it’s not too high so you can wear these with pants and dresses and skirts. They are VERY COMFORTABLE!!! They are pointy - but I sized up a half so they are not squeezing my foot at all. I can move my toes around and there’s enough space for socks if I need to wear them. I am in ❤️!!!

My favorite boots ever!
I searched forever to find the perfect camel boots and could not be happier with this purchase. So happy, in fact, that I bought another pair in a different color! They’re really soft and the perfect heel height to still be comfortable. They are so classy and definitely a staple for me for work. Love!
