Mike Macdonald is an Associate Member of the Centre for Business History - he obtained his Masters Degree as a mature student in the Department of Economic & Social History at the University of Glasgow in 2007.  The subject of his thesis was the changing relationships between Scottish shipbuilders and Australian shipowners between 1901 (founding of the Commonwealth of Australia) and 1971.   A research visit to Australia in 2005 was part of this work.  His current research interest is the Scottish burgh ports (small municipally-managed ports) and their contribution to their local economies.
