Book Project: A Scottish Migration to Alexandria

The book A Scottish Migration to Alexandria Was written by Ellen over the course of five years. Ellen did the cover illustration and layout design, and she published the first Edition in October of 2021. The book sold out, so Ellen made updates and published a 2nd Edition in August of 2022. The book can be bought at Yellow Dot Shop

A Scottish Migration to Alexandria is about migration of people from Scotland to the United States. I researched Scotland's history, learning about the millions of people who left the Lowlands of Scotland in the 1700's and on. The story is about William Gregory who settled in Alexandria, Virginia after leaving his home in Kilmarnock, Scotland. Find out more on the book's website: A Scottish Migration to Alexandria
