This book offers key background reading for anyone interested in
Scotland's 2014 referendum on independence. This book traces the
background to the Treaty of Union of 1707, explains why it happened
and assesses its impact on Scottish society, including the bitter
struggle with the Jacobites for acceptance of the union in the two
decades that followed its inauguration. The first edition was
radical in reinterpreting the causes of union, rejecting the widely
held notion that the Scots were bought and sold for English gold
and instead placing emphasis on the international, dynastic and
religious contexts of the union negotiations. This new edition
brings the historical debate up to a vigorous present, in which we
are once again discussing such issues and opinions, lending
historical weight to arguments for and against Union. It is updated
in the light of new research. It challenges dominant view that the
Scots were 'bought and sold for English gold'. It includes a new
chapter that expands the debate into the present. It adds
historical dimension to the current debate about the Union. It
presents key background reading for anyone interested in 2014
referendum.
