This volume represents one of the first attempts to examine the
connection between Scotland and the British empire throughout the
entire twentieth century. As the century dawned, the Scottish
economy was still strongly connected with imperial infrastructures
(like railways, engineering, construction and shipping), and
colonial trade and investment. By the end of the century, however,
the Scottish economy, its politics, and its society had been
through major upheavals which many connected with decolonisation.
The end of empire played a defining role in shaping modern-day
Scotland and the identity of its people. Written by scholars of
distinction, these chapters represent ground-breaking research in
the field of Scotland's complex and often-changing relationship
with the British empire in the period. The introduction that opens
the collection will be viewed for years to come as the single most
important historiographical statement on Scotland and empire during
the tumultuous years of the twentieth century. A final chapter from
Stuart Ward and Jimmi Ostergaard Nielsen covers the 2014
referendum. -- .
