Subject: ...Jim Hewitson has now turned his attention to the second great area of Scottish migration, Australia and New Zealand. From the first grim penal colony in Botany Bay in 1788 to the glamorous story of Duntocher-born 1930's speedway ace Ron Johnston, Scots have played a role at every level in life and society of these two dynamic nations (back cover).
