Scotland and the Union 1707-2007 covers all the key themes: Why the Union took place A growing acceptance of the Union in the 18th century The impact of Scots' central role in the British Empire The politics of unionism The challenge of nationalism Thatcherism and the Union Devolution and prospects for the future No other volume considers the entire 300-year experience of union - from its origins in the early 18th century to the historic parliamentary victory of the SNP in May 2007. This is the essential text for understanding one of the most burning issues in British public life today.
