It   is especially concerned with identifying whether there was a distinctive   Scottish experience and if so, what effect it had on the East. Did Scots   bring different skills to Asia and how far did their backgrounds prepare them   in different ways? Were their networks distinctive compared to other   ethnicities? What was the pull of Asia for them? Did they really punch above   their weight as some contemporaries thought, or was that just exaggerated   rhetoric? If there was a distinctive ‘Scottish effect’ how is that to be   explained? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: The Scottish Experience in Asia, c.1700 to the Present: Settlers and Sojourners\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eT.
