A Documentary Research
on the Scottish Women of Calcutta
This documentary research was funded by the Journal of International
Women's Studies Fellowship (JIWS), Bridgewater State University,
Massachusetts. This research brings forth the various social and
cultural roles that were played by Scottish women in Calcutta during the
time of British colonization. In the process of shedding light on these
select Scottish women, this documentary has also made an effort to
complicate the histories of colonialism and the challenges of the
decolonial gaze.

the former will find in it real truths, gathered by experience, and
already tested by themselves, while the latter will derive the great
advantage of learning things, which some perhaps may otherwise never
learn at all, or which they may only learn when it is too late to profit
by the learning. (pdf) Rev. James Aberigh

Rags to Riches: The Scots in India
A podcast - In today’s episode, William and Anita are joined by historian Andrew
MacKillop to discuss the colourful history of Scots and India.
In the wake of Culloden, much of Scotland was on its knees. Crippled by
defeat and the subsequent backlash of the British government, along with
famine and poverty, they were in dire need of new horizons. The nascent
British Empire would provide it. The Scottish Highlanders had developed
a fearsome reputation during their struggles against the English, and
would prove just as indomitable fighting for Britain in India. Yet, in
more ways than militarily, India was to become a treasure trove of
opportunity, enrichment and conquest for the Scots. From their
domination of the East India Trading Company, to some of the men
credited with cementing imperial rule in India, and the Highlander
Regiments who took on the ferocious Tipu Sultan in the South, Scots
involvement in all spheres of the British Empire in India was momentous.
It also made them very rich… how controversial, then, is Scotland’s
Indian involvement?
