Research Interests

My research is mainly focused on nineteenth century and early twentieth century Scotland. My main research areas are

  • The Irish in Scotland
  • Social History of Religion
  • Catholic Church in Scotland
  • Communal Relations
  • Political Movements
  • Scottish Labour Movement

I have published on all these topics, including the monograph The Irish in the West of Scotland, 1797-1848: Trade Unions, Strikes and Political Movements (1998.) I also published the edited volume, New Perspectives on the Irish in Scotland (2008.) My current research project is on the impact of Irish immigration on the Catholic Church in Scotland in the nineteenth century.
