'Anglo-Scottish migration and the Making of Great Britain, 1603-1762' will investigate migration between England and Scotland in the early modern period. Although studies of British external migration in this period have been developed, this has seldom included a focus on movement within Britain. Consequently, the long-term effects of this movement for the development of the British state or a British identity in a period characterised by a changing Anglo-Scottish political relationship have not been considered in any detail.The research undertaken by the network will focus on the period from the union of the crowns in 1603, through the union of the English and Scottish parliaments in 1707, and into the mid-eighteenth century, by which time the British state was secure and a form of British identity had arguably emerged. At either end of this period stands James VI and I, a Scottish king who became king of Great Britain, and Lord Bute, a Scottish politician who became prime minister of Great Britain. The research generated by the network will ask questions regarding the origins of individual and groups of Scots who settled in England in the early modern period, and explore their experiences of this movement. It will identify the catalysts for this migration taking place and its consequences both for the composite nations of England and Scotland, and for Great Britain as a coherent state. The network will consider this primarily from an historical perspective, but will incorporate scholars of related disciplines and will ask questions with relevance to contemporary society (see Academic Beneficiaries/Impact Summary).In the upper levels of society there is significant evidence of Scots at the royal court, in government, holding military and colonial offices, and integrating within aristocratic circles. Below this strata the picture is less clear. This network will penetrate beyond existing, vague notions regarding the experiences of Scottish doctors and soldiers, to uncover the stories of ordinary Scots who made their way to England and whose lives became part of the glue that created Great Britain. The experiences and perception of individuals who left their homes in Scotland and made new lives for themselves in England must be placed alongside our analysis of state formation and national identity. Why did they leave; where did they go; what skills did they bring with them; what resistance did they encounter; to what extent did they create new identities? These are just some of the questions that will be considered by the network, and we will answer them by using a range of theoretical approaches, embracing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. This research will include an attempt to consider the number of Scots who settled in England, to analyse their occupational classification, and to assess regional variation, but will also assess their motives and relate selected narratives.One central question that will be addressed is the extent to which this migration might be considered to be successful. The working thesis is that Scots did not have a difficult time in England, that they mixed at all levels in the host society, and that neither was the legitimacy of their own identity seriously challenged, or any impediment put in the way of their integration into local communities. Scots could choose to remain distinctively Scottish, or they could assimilate and become English, or indeed British. That thesis needs to be tested with greater empirical data, particularly outside elite society. But if it is correct, we need a more refined explanation than some indistinct notions of similar language and religion and a united monarchy. We may also be able to construct a model of 'successful' migration with a view to feeding into discussion of migration policy.

“盎格鲁-苏格兰移民和大不列颠的形成，1603-1762”将调查近代早期英格兰和苏格兰之间的移民。尽管对这一时期英国对外移民的研究已经开展，但很少关注英国境内的流动。因此，在以盎格鲁-苏格兰政治关系变化为特征的时期，这场运动对英国国家或英国身份发展的长期影响尚未得到任何详细考虑。该网络进行的研究将集中于从 1603 年王室联合，到 1707 年英格兰和苏格兰议会联合，一直到 18 世纪中叶，此时英国国家是安全的，英国身份的某种形式可以说已经形成。出现了。在这一时期的两端分别站着成为英国国王的苏格兰国王詹姆斯六世和我，以及成为英国首相的苏格兰政治家布特勋爵。该网络生成的研究将提出有关近代早期在英格兰定居的个人和苏格兰人群体的起源的问题，并探讨他们在这场运动中的经历。它将确定这种移民发生的催化剂及其对英格兰和苏格兰复合国家以及大不列颠作为一个统一国家的影响。该网络将主要从历史角度考虑这一点，但将纳入相关学科的学者，并提出与当代社会相关的问题（参见学术受益人/影响摘要）。在社会上层，有明显证据表明苏格兰人在王室、政府、军事和殖民地职位，并融入贵族圈子。在这一层之下，情况不太清楚。这个网络将超越关于苏格兰医生和士兵经历的现有模糊概念，揭示普通苏格兰人的故事，他们来到英格兰，他们的生活成为创建大不列颠的粘合剂的一部分。离开苏格兰家园并在英格兰开始新生活的个人的经历和看法必须与我们对国家形成和民族认同的分析放在一起。他们为什么离开？他们去哪儿了？他们带来了什么技能；他们遇到了什么阻力；他们在多大程度上创造了新的身份？这些只是网络将考虑的一些问题，我们将通过使用一系列理论方法来回答这些问题，包括定量和定性方法。这项研究将包括尝试考虑在英格兰定居的苏格兰人的数量，分析他们的职业分类，并评估地区差异，但还将评估他们的动机并将选定的叙述联系起来。将要解决的一个核心问题是程度这次迁移可以被认为是成功的。工作论点是，苏格兰人在英格兰并没有经历过困难，他们在东道国社会的各个层面都混杂在一起，他们自己身份的合法性也没有受到严重挑战，也没有在他们融入东道国社会的过程中遇到任何障碍。当地社区。苏格兰人可以选择保持独特的苏格兰特色，也可以同化并成为英国人，或者实际上是英国人。该论点需要用更多的实证数据来检验，特别是在精英社会之外。但如果它是正确的，我们需要一个比一些类似语言和宗教以及统一君主制的模糊概念更精致的解释。我们或许还能够构建一个“成功”移民模型，以期为移民政策的讨论提供依据。
