Abstract
Utilising both historical and contemporary texts, the project explores how the Scottish immigrant narrative has evolved in the two centuries since the Scots first arrived in Australia. Via an exegesis examining diasporic theories associated with cultural hybridity in relation to Scottish migrant identities in Australia and other former British colonies, it also consists of a work of literary fiction, depicting a working-class Scottish family who have migrated to Australia in the late-twentieth century.
