The Scottish Liberal Party was the dominant party of Victorian
Scotland. While its electoral fortunes declined with the rise of
the Labour and (Scottish) Unionist parties during the 1920s, it
remained a significant 'third' force in an increasingly crowded
'Scottish political system', particularly during the latter half of
the 20th century. This was especially true following its 1988
merger with the Social Democratic Party to form the Scottish
Liberal Democrats, when it helped shape the modern devolution
settlement via the Scottish Constitutional Convention. This book
examines both parties via a chronological presentation of their
histories. Each chapter includes themes such as organisation,
relations between the Scottish and UK parties, the deployment of
'nationalist' arguments and rhetoric, and strategic approaches
(after 1922) to recover electorally and pursue certain
constitutional aims including devolution for Scotland. It also
presents a detailed examination of the party's record in devolved
and Westminster government after 1999.
