    I haven't read this particular book by Mrs. Calder (her late father, btw, was David Daiches, the noted Burnsian and son of the Chief Rabbi of Edinburgh), but I can also recommend a similar book by the late Fernec Szasz, Scots in the North American West, 1790-1917, from the University of Oklahoma Press (2000). Dr. Szasz also published a fascinating book about the connection between Abraham Lincoln and Robert Burns in 2009.

    Do you know the title of the Lincoln/Burns text?
