Although the dominant political ideology in Scotland between 1707
and the present, unionism has suffered serious neglect. One of the
most distinguished Scottish historians of our time looks afresh at
this central theme in Britain's history, politics and law, and
traces the history of Scottish unionist ideas from the early
sixteenth century to the present day. Colin Kidd demonstrates that
unionism had impeccably indigenous origins long predating the Union
of 1707, and that it emerged in reaction to the English vision of
Britain as an empire. Far from being the antithesis of nationalism,
modern Scottish unionism has largely occupied a middle ground
between the extremes of assimilation to England or separation from
it. At a time when the future of the Scottish union is under
scrutiny as never before, its history demands Colin Kidd's lucid
and cogent examination, which will doubtless generate major debate,
both within Scotland and beyond.
