Entering the black servants I'm finding in 18th century Scottish servant tax records into a spreadsheet to gather together, let me resort etc. It is often depressingly dehumanising, but sheds more light on Scotland's black history. Typically the employers have slavery links. The last servant I typed (currently doing easiest to spot ones) was bought as a slave as a young boy in Charleston and brought back to Scotland.
