ABSTRACT
The Scottish Salt Industry 1570-1850 (Aberdeen 1987). Figures for Scottish coal output in D.U. Nef, The Rise of the British Coal Industry, 2 vols (London 1932) are now considered dubious. Internal trade in the seventeenth century is considered by I.D. Whyte, Agriculture and Society in Seventeenth-Century Scotland and D. Woodward, A comparative study of the Irish and Scottish livestock trades in the seventeenth century, in L.M. Cullen and T.e. Smout (eds), Comparative Aspects of Scottish and Irish Economic and Social History (Edinburgh 1977), pp. 147-64. For the Northern Isles see H.D. Smith, Shetland Life and Trade 1550-1914 (Edinburgh 1984). For economic conditions in the later seventeenth century see RH. Campbell, Stair's Scotland: the economic and social background, juridical Review, 1981, 110-27.
