note = "Funding Information: The Centre for Scottish Studies recognises the benefits from hosting postdoctoral scholars. Dr Rebecca Lenihan is now in her second year of a postdoctoral fellowship working with the Centre and the Historical Data Research Unit, tracing Scots between the 1871 census of Scotland and the 1880/1 censuses of Scotland, England and Wales, Canada and the United States. Dr Lenihan completed her PhD at Victoria University of Wellington in 2010 with a thesis entitled {\textquoteleft}From Alba to Aotearoa: Profiling New Zealand{\textquoteright}s Scots migrants, 1840–1920{\textquoteright}, for which she received the Zander and Durden Families Prize, and is now preparing this for publication. Having completed her MA at the University of Guelph and her PhD at the University of Edinburgh, Dr Cathryn Spence returned in October 2012 to undertake post-doctoral work funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Dr Spence is examining debt litigation in sixteenth-and seventeenth-century Scottish towns to assess the effects of gender, class, and occupational identities on access to, and participation in, credit relationships. This builds on research carried out for her PhD which used debt and credit records to assess the economic roles played by women in the towns of Edinburgh, Haddington and Linlithgow between 1560 and 1640. While continuing to assess credit and economic opportunities open to women, this new project also allows her to consider how men experienced debt and credit relationships, how this differed from women{\textquoteright}s experiences, and what that meant for the family economy as a whole.",
