The Dundas Despotism | Michael Fry | John Donald Publishers | 2004 | Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville (1742-1811) and his son Robert, 2nd Viscount Melville (1771-1851) presided over what has been called the "Dundas Despotism". The father was known as the "uncrowned King of Scotland" on account of the many important government positions he occupied and his ability to manipulate so many people. His influence and powers of patronage even allowed him to determine much of what happened in India. The son took over this mantle and continued to use it for his own advantage. This biography challenges the commonly-held perceptions of these autocrats, preferring to paint them as inheritors of the ideas of the Scottish Enlightenment. | 1375 |

The Story of the Lovat Scouts: 1900-1980 with Contributions to 2000 | Michael Leslie Melville | Librario Publishing | 2004 | The Lovat Scouts was a unit established by Lord Lovat in 1900 to serve in the Boer War in Africa. Most of the soldiers were keepers, ghillies and stalkers from the Scottish highlands. They later fought in Gallipoli and Egypt in the First World War and in the Faroes Islands, Italy and Austria in the Second World War. Their upbringing in the highlands, their knowledge of fieldcraft and their ability to survive in treacherous terrain enhanced their reputation as experts in unconventional warfare. This is their story. | 1373 |
