Across the German Sea
In Across the German Sea: Early Modern Scottish Connections with the Wider Elbe-Weser Region Zickermann analyses the commercial, maritime and military relations between Scotland and the German cities (Hamburg, Bremen) and territories (Bremen and Verden, Holstein, Braunschweig-Lüneburg) located alongside the lower parts of the rivers Elbe and Weser. Based on a wealth of British, German and Scandinavian archival material, the study demonstrates the importance of the region for Scottish commodity exchange and network building across political borders, whilst contributing significantly to our understanding of the formation of Scottish communities abroad. It also shows that Scottish commercial, political, military and religious activities within the region – which featured a Danish-Norwegian and Swedish dimension - were intertwined and cannot be studied in isolation.

Germany
Germany is one of the most diverse and beautiful countries in Europe. The land stretches from the Alps to the Baltic Sea and encompasses some truly spectacular scenery; the Bavarian Mountains, the Black Forest and the North German Plain have so much to offer that they hardly seem to be true. But Germany is not just a matter of beautiful scenery and exciting cities. There is also the famous German cuisine. There are delicate Rhine salmon, that may be as good as a Scottish fish, and some truly amazing pates. Nonetheless Germany is still best known for its heavy food. The modern industrial cities of the nation contrast with its wonderful historic heritage, exemplified by the lovely medieval towns tucked away in the forests and mountains. - Publisher.
