Greenock, on the West Coast of Scotland earned the sobriquet of "Sugaropolis" as it was the major refiner of sugar imported from the Caribbean and the East Indies. How did Greenock develop into the leading port in Scotland? This book takes a new look at the growth of the town, dependent as it was, on the slave economies of North America and West Indies. Fully illustrated throughout the 700+ pages, the author looks at the men and industries involved.
