| | | | | Scottish national identity: Encyclopedia II - Scottish independence - Devolution Supporters of Scottish independence continued to hold mixed views on the Home Rule movement which included many supporters of union who wanted devolution within the framework of the United Kingdom. Some saw it as a stepping stone to independence, while others wanted to go straight for separation.
In the years of the Conservative government post 1979 the Campaign for a Scottish Assembly led from 1989 to the Scottish Constitutional Convention developing a consensus on devolution on a cross-party basis, though the Conservat ...

| | | | | Scottish national identity: Encyclopedia II - Scottish independence - Opposition to independence The term Unionist is used infrequently in Scottish political debate, partly because it suggests unhelpful parallels with the situation in Northern Ireland. However, there is a strong body of opinion opposed to independence and in favour of the continuation of the union with England. This has never been a homogeneous movement, but rather represents a pro-UK consensus of all the major Scottish political parties apart from the SNP. It is a movement that ranges from those in support of the UK as a unitary state governed from Westminster, to those who support varying degrees of devolution of power and/or con ...

| | | | | Scottish national identity: Encyclopedia II - Radical War - Background In the 18th century artisans such as handloom weavers, shoemakers, smiths and wrights worked to commission and so could set their own hours of work which often left them time to read, and debate what they had read with friends. The national Presbyterian Church of Scotland was founded on egalitarian attitudes and rights of the individual to make principled judgements, and so encouraged disputatious habits and preoccupation with "rights" as well as continuing the Scottish education tradition which achieved more widespread literacy at that time ...

These are unitary authorities responsible for the provision of all local government services, including education, social work, environment and roads services. Some of the larger councils are also further divided into area committees. Community councils are informal organisations that represent specific areas within a council area.

| | | | | Scottish national identity: Encyclopedia II - Scotland - Education The system of education in Scotland is separate from the rest of the United Kingdom. It has a distinctive history as the first country since Sparta in classical Greece to implement a system of general public education. The early roots were in the Education Act of 1496 which first introduced compulsory education for the eldest sons of nobles, then the principle of general public education was set with the Reformation establishment of the national Kirk which in 1561 set out a national programme for spiritual reform, including a school in every ...

| | | | | Scottish national identity: Encyclopedia II - Scotland - Economy The Scottish economy is closely linked with that of the United Kingdom, and is essentially a capitalist economy with little government interference in private enterprise. After the Industrial Revolution, the Scottish economy concentrated on heavy industry, dominated by the shipbuilding, coal mining and steel industries. Scottish participation in the British Empire also allowed the Scottish economy to export its output throughout the world. However heavy industry declined in the latter part of the 20th century leading to a remarkable shift in ...

| | | | | Scottish national identity: Encyclopedia II - Scotland - Law Scots law is the law of Scotland. It is a unique system with ancient roots and has a basis in Roman law, combining features of both uncodified Civil law dating back to the Corpus Juris Civilis and common law with medieval sources. The terms of union with England in 1707, guaranteed the continued existence of a separate law system in Scotland from that of England and Wales. Formerly, there were several regional law systems in Scotland, one of which was the use of Udal Law in Orkney and Shetland, based on Old Norse Law, which for the most part was abolished in 1611. Various systems based on common Celtic or Brehon Laws also survived i ...

| | | | | Scottish national identity: Encyclopedia II - Scottish independence - 1970s Revival In the first 1974 United Kingdom general election Scottish voters elected seven members of the Scottish National Party to Parliament, rising to eleven in a second general election that year. This empowered the independence movement with greater leverage for the advancement of pro-independence agendas in the House of Commons where the Labour Party now led a minority government in a pact with the Liberal Party.
As it had promised, Labour put forward proposals for a Scottish Parliament as a semi—autonomous Scottish assembly to control ...

| | | | | Scottish national identity: Encyclopedia II - Radical War - Outcome The effect of the crushing of this staged insurrection was to effectively discourage serious Radical unrest in Scotland for some time.
Lord Melville, the right hand man in Scotland of Lord Liverpool's government, saw the suggested Visit of King George IV to Scotland as a political need, by which the Radical movement might be further weakened and the common people given bread and circuses. The event, largely organised by Sir Walter Scott, succeeded brilliantly and brought a new-found Scottish national identity creating widespread enthu ...

| | | | | Scottish national identity: Encyclopedia II - Visit of King George IV to Scotland - Preparations When his advice was sought, Sir Walter Scott seized the opportunity to invent a splendid pageant wherein ancient Scotland would be reborn, and the King parodied in cartoons as a fat debaucher would be seen as "a portly handsome man looking and moving every inch a King". George would be presented as a new Jacobite King, with the logic that he was by bloodline as much a Stuart as Bonnie Prince Charlie had been, and would win the affections of the Scots away from radical reform. A small committee was set up, with Scott's principal assistant being his friend Major General David Stewart of Garth who had made himse ...
