Excellent- More about Solicitors to Scotland: Seduction, Sedition and Subterfuge in the Lost History of a Law Firm
Three large iron chests were locked in a law firm's office for over a century, containing secrets of Scotland's past. When opened, they revealed a wealth of material, including early monasteries, Robert the Bruce, Adam Smith, Jacobite search warrants, and twins switched at birth. This material has enabled us to reconstruct the lives and times of romantic, bizarre, heroic, and villainous characters, revealing human expressions of the inner conflicts of Empire, Enlightenment, industrialization, and democratization. The law is uniquely positioned to track social change and is closely involved with the outcomes of disputes in which people grapple with their own loyalties, sensibilities, and sexualities.

Three massive iron chests were securely fastened in the office of a law firm, their antique mechanisms fiercely safeguarding the secrets of Scotland's past. For over a century, no one had ventured inside the chests or had any idea of their contents. However, when the bolts were finally unlocked, the artifacts contained within them revealed more than anyone could have anticipated.
Spanning from early monasteries to the digital age, from Robert the Bruce to Adam Smith, from Jacobite search warrants to twins switched at birth, the lost material from these archives has provided us with a remarkable opportunity to reconstruct the lives and times of some of the most captivating, peculiar, heroic, and villainous characters who have encountered the law. These stories offer a poignant and human portrayal of the inner struggles of empire, enlightenment, industrialization, and democratization.
The law is uniquely positioned to document the trials and tribulations of social change, and it is intricately involved in the resolution of disputes where individuals navigate their own loyalties, sensitivities, and sexualities. This captivating journey through Scotland's past, oscillating between popes, plots, prime ministers, and prime suspects, has the potential to reshape our understanding of the present.
