Summary

This history of the Scottish monastic community at Würzburg in the 17th century has the appeal of the unusual. These Scots in exile, valuing their culture and traditions, preserved links with Scotland while striving to maintain a monastic community in Germany. They never lost sight of their aim to provide zealous missionaries to work among their countrymen at home. Success was limited, but the attempt was important and this study of their fluctuating fortunes has much of interest for the history of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland.
