Scots have been 'invisible' ethnics but are Australia's third largest immigrant group. The Scots in Australia is a long overdue and comprehensive history of Scottish immigrants, including convicts, free settlers, and their descendants in Australia from 1788 to the present.

The Scots in Australia powerfully demonstrates the countless ways in which the Scots and their descendants have shaped and been shaped by Australia.
