The Scots Who Built New York - The Artisans
Scots of all creative endeavors have come to or been part of the making of New York and
America.
"You will see who many of these Scots were, and are - from the 18 th century to the present –
seeing their contributions in their chosen endeavors.
We will be introducing people in chronological order from the time of the founding of the
United States for which New York City was the capital (from 1785 to 1790) to the present.
Also we will introduce Scots whose intellect and talents would today be called ‘influencers’
because their powers of intellect and artistic talent lent to new directions for society".
