Dundas was far from popular except among the ruling elite. Effigies of him were burned as the French Revolution inspired hope in the “sans-culottes” he feared and despised so much. Indeed, he was at one point unable to visit Perth, as his safety could not be assured, even with a military escort.
Why can’t the story of the Scottish people – not just the elite – be told? The transportation was nowhere near as horrible as the movable slavery. But our people suffered under Dundas and they did not support him. This story must also be told.
