Ewen Cameron explores the political debate between unionism,
liberalism, socialism and nationalism, and the changing political
relationship between Scotland and the United Kingdom. He sets
Scottish experience alongside the Irish, Welsh and European, and
considers British dimensions of historical change - involvement in
two world wars, imperial growth and decline, for example - from a
Scottish perspective. He relates political events to trends and
movements in the economy, culture and society of the nation's
regions - borders, lowlands, highlands, and islands. Underlying the
history, and sometimes impelling its ambitions, are the evolution
and growth of national self-confidence and identity which
fundamentally affected Scotland's destiny in the last century. Dr
Cameron ends by considering how such forces may transform it in
this one. Like the period it describes this book has politics at
its heart. The recent upsurge of scholarship and publication,
backed by the author's extensive primary research, underpin its
vivid and well-paced narrative.
