I stumbled across your blog tonight and it looks full of interesting material- I shall have a look through some of the articles. My own research is focused on the Scottish connections with the West Indies post 1790, so there is minimal links with Virginia in this period. However, its no secret that the Tobacco Lords in Glasgow became fabulously wealthy due to the store system of tobacco trade from 1740-1790, obviously dependent on slave labour in the Chesapeake region. I wrote an article on the Scots denial about the level of involvement in transatlantic slavery which you also might be interested in: http://www.variant.org.uk/pdfs/issue35/AeFondKiss.pdf<br /><br />Please do get in touch if you have any <br />enquiries regarding the article.
