A Study of the Debate on Scottish Home Rule, 1886-1914 Nathan Kane PhD Scottish History The University of Edinburgh 2015 Abstract This thesis explores arguments for Scottish Home Rule, and the place these arguments were given during elections. It also discusses the interactions between Scottish Home Rulers with other Home Rule movements within the United Kingdom as well as attempts to build international support in the colonies and United States. Finally it examines the cultural and scientific manifestations of nationalism and how they were embraced by a Home Rule movement which was eager to identify evidence for devolution. The position of Scottish Home Rule before the Great War was very complex. Although the Scottish Liberal Association adopted it as a policy as early as 1888 the most ardent of Scottish Home Rulers were continually disappointed by the failure of the Liberal Party’s leadership to commit to a time frame for introducing legislation. Despite this difficulty Scottish Home Rulers fought an uphill battle to keep the issue before the public through a significant body of pamphlets, journals, letters, and even in motions in the House of Commons. Between the second 1910 election and the Great War, the issue was kept in front of the Scottish Electorate and featured in almost all of the Liberal and Labour candidates’ campaigns during the fourteen by-elections which occurred during the period. Culturally new expressions of ‘Scottishness’ can be seen in the establishment of bodies such as the Royal Scottish Geographic Society, the Scottish Historical Review and the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition. When these Scottish institutions ran into conflict with larger bodies based in England, usually associated with funding, the question of Scotland’s relationship with the rest of the United Kingdom came into question. At these times nationalists within and without of these institutions could co-opt these concerns in order to further their appeals for greater Home Rule. Although Scottish Home Rule was never a dominant movement within Scottish politics before the war it did manage to find acceptance among a wide body of individuals and groups such as the Scottish Liberal Association, Young Scots’ Society, Convention of the Royal Burghs of Scotland, Highland Land League, Scottish Labour League and Scottish Liberal Women’s Association . This thesis will attempt to place Scottish Home Rule within the context of a time which saw the development of so many other great reforms and argue that although those who supported Scottish Home Rule did so for a variety of pragmatic reasons, the nationalistic ideology that Scotland should be governed by Scots, still found expression.

I have also been blessed with the wonderful support of family and friends. My parents, Linda and Richard Kane, my grandfather, Walter Taylor, and my dear friends, Jo Ebelewicz and Hank Clay, have all selflessly offered assistance through countless generous expressions of support and kindness. I must also thank the hardworking staff of the many public and university libraries which I have visited in the course of conducting this research.

Scottish nationalism is interwoven into the discussion but it was not the only great ideological shaper of the movement. Liberalism and Scotland’s relationship with the Party it so loyally served during the long nineteenth century was essential in moulding the context in which the debate for Scottish Home Rule would take place. So too was the more prominent and controversial question of Irish Home Rule. This thesis will attempt to chart the development and interaction between Scottish Home Rule and these overshadowing political questions. The primary inspiration for the topic has been to question how a subject which could receive strong majorities among MPs representing Scottish constituencies could arouse so little credibility as a nationalist movement. The results of this study do not overturn assessments about the relative weakness of the movement during the period but it is hoped that they at least help to clarify its position, and crucially the motivation behind its support, within the broader political history of Scotland. Scottish Home Rule has been described as occupying the margins of the margins of Scottish politics before the First World War.1 If this description is accepted it might also be acknowledged that despite being scribbled on the margins, were we to imagine Scottish history as a book, Scottish Home Rule is a note which appears on several pages, including those of the Scottish Liberal Association; the Scottish Labour Party from its formation in 1888; the Highland Land League from its formation in 1886; the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition 1902-1904; the Convention of Royal Burghs of Scotland and, on several occasions, the majority of the Scottish MPs in the House of Commons. As well as these groups there was also the Scottish Home Rule Association (SHRA) and the Young Scots’ Society (YSS) and several other nationalist and patriotic groups and periodicals who put considerable effort into promoting the cause. This list is not included to suggest that Scottish Home Rule was a dominant force in Scottish politics during the period. It was not. It did, however, have a place within these groups and associations. This 1 Colin Kidd, Union and Unionisms: Political Thoughts in Scotland, 1500-2000, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2008, p. 24-25. 2 thesis will attempt to shed light on the groups and individuals who scribbled Scottish Home Rule into the margins. By assessing the objectives, arguments and results of these groups a better understanding of Scottish nationalism before the War will be uncovered. As well as the issue of Scottish Home Rule it is also interesting to consider the place of nationalism within Scotland. Colin Kidd has noted that Scots before the Great War were often enthusiastic supporters of continental nationalist movements.2 ‘Scots were, it transpires, enthusiastic supporters of nationalist movements abroad. Glasgow alone was home to the Glasgow Garibaldi Italian Fund, the Glasgow Polish Association, the Glasgow Polish Committee and the Glasgow Working Men’s Garibaldi Committee.’3 The extent to which Scotland supported the rights of small nations is intriguing. Certainly when one looks at the SHRA and the YSS one is able to see support among the leadership for the Boers. Gavin Clark, a president of the Scottish Home Rule Association, was responsible for several motions in favour of Scottish Home Rule between 1889 and 1893. Clark had been elected as a Crofter MP for Caithness in 1885. He lost the seat in 1900 over his support for the Boers. The YSS was founded as a pro-Boer group in direct response to the jingoism and imperialism of the early 1900s. If the Scots during this time were aware and supportive of other nationalist movements during the nineteenth century one might ask why they did not pursue it more actively themselves? Terminology When setting out to discuss Scottish nationalism before the Great War one is invariably met with the question: did it exist? Contained within this yes or no question lies a host of complexities which must be wrought out before any attempt at an answer may be made. The first is defining the word ‘nationalism’. It is amusing to ponder if Britain has not produced more career scholars of nationalism than career nationalists. One of the great academic troubles of the word has been making the 2 Douglas Young ‘A Sketch History of Scottish Nationalism’, in Neil MacCormick, (ed.), Scottish Debates, London: Oxford University Press, 1970, pp.

In particular, the focus is on the impact of the war on re-shaping the global division of labour and the difficulties in responding to the domestic consequences of this re- shaping. Dundee provides an ideal basis for examining the links between the local politics and global economic changes in this period because of the traumatic effects of the war and on the city. Dundee depended to an extraordinary extent on one, extremely ‘globalised’ industry, jute, for its employment. All raw jute brought to Dundee came from Bengal, and the markets for its product were scattered all over the world. Moreover, the main competitive threat to the industry came from a much poorer economy (India) so that jute manufacturing was the first major British industry to be significantly affected by low wage competition. Before 1914 the Liberals combined advocacy of free trade with a significant set of interventions in the labour market and in social welfare, including Trade Boards.
  • Does Red Clydeside Really Matter Anymore?

    Does Red Clydeside Really Matter Anymore?

    Christopher Fevre 100009227 ‘Does Red Clydeside Really Matter Any More?’ Word Count: 4,290 Red Clydeside, described aptly by Maggie Craig as ‘those heady decades at the beginning of the twentieth century when passionate people and passionate politics swept like a whirlwind through Glasgow’ is arguably the most significant yet controversial subject in Scottish labour and social history.1 Yet, it is because of this controversy that questions still linger regarding the significance of Red Clydeside in the overall narrative of British and more specifically, Scottish history. The title of this paper, ‘Does Red Clydeside Really Matter Any More?’ has been generously borrowed from Terry Brotherstone’s interesting article in Militant Workers: Labour and Class Conflict on the Clyde 1900- 1950.2 Following a decade in which the legacy of the Red Clydesiders had been systematically attacked by revisionist historians agitated by contemporary attempts to link the events on the Clyde with those occurring in Russia in 1917, Brotherstone emphasised the new and developing common sense approach to the Red Clydeside debate. It was argued that ‘A new consensus seems to be emerging... which acknowledges the significance of the events associated with Red Clydeside, but seeks to dissociate them from what is now perceived as the ‘myth’ or ‘legend’ that they involved a revolutionary challenge to the British state’. However, as a consequence of the ever changing nature of Red Clydeside historiography it is now time for a re-assessment of the significance of Red Clydeside which incorporates new research into the rise of left-wing politics in Scotland more generally.

Donahue IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 Abstract by James M. Donahue This dissertation traces the origins of the League of Nations movement during the First World War to a coalescent international network of ecumenical figures and Protestant politicians. Its primary focus rests on the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, an organization that drew Protestant social activists and ecumenical leaders from Europe and North America. The World Alliance officially began on August 1, 1914 in southern Germany to the sounds of the first shots of the war. Within the next three months, World Alliance members began League of Nations societies in Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. The World Alliance then enlisted other Christian institutions in its campaign, such as the International Missionary Council, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Blue Cross and the Student Volunteer Movement. Key figures include John Mott, Charles Macfarland, Adolf Deissmann, W. H. Dickinson, James Allen Baker, Nathan Söderblom, Andrew James M.

  • Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish History1

    Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish History1

    The Scottish Historical Review, Volume LXXXV, 1: No. 219: April 2006, 1–27 MATTHEW H. HAMMOND Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish history1 ABSTRACT Historians have long tended to define medieval Scottish society in terms of interactions between ethnic groups. This approach was developed over the course of the long nineteenth century, a formative period for the study of medieval Scotland. At that time, many scholars based their analysis upon scientific principles, long since debunked, which held that medieval ‘peoples’ could only be understood in terms of ‘full ethnic packages’. This approach was combined with a positivist historical narrative that defined Germanic Anglo-Saxons and Normans as the harbingers of advances in Civilisation. While the prejudices of that era have largely faded away, the modern discipline still relies all too often on a dualistic ethnic framework. This is particularly evident in a structure of periodisation that draws a clear line between the ‘Celtic’ eleventh century and the ‘Norman’ twelfth. Furthermore, dualistic oppositions based on ethnicity continue, particu- larly in discussions of law, kingship, lordship and religion. Geoffrey Barrow’s Robert Bruce and the Community of the Realm of Scotland, first published in 1965 and now available in the fourth edition, is proba- bly the most widely read book ever written by a professional historian on the Middle Ages in Scotland.2 In seeking to introduce the thirteenth century to such a broad audience, Barrow depicted Alexander III’s Scot- land as fundamentally
  • Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy

    Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy

    Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy How do democracies form and what makes them die? Daniel Ziblatt revisits this timely and classic question in a wide-ranging historical narrative that traces the evolution of modern political democracy in Europe from its modest beginnings in 1830s Britain to Adolf Hitler’s 1933 seizure of power in Weimar Germany. Based on rich historical and quantitative evidence, the book offers a major reinterpretation of European history and the question of how stable political democracy is achieved. The barriers to inclusive political rule, Ziblatt finds, were not inevitably overcome by unstoppable tides of socioeconomic change, a simple triumph of a growing middle class, or even by working class collective action. Instead, political democracy’s fate surprisingly hinged on how conservative political parties – the historical defenders of power, wealth, and privilege – recast themselves and coped with the rise of their own radical right. With striking modern parallels, the book has vital implications for today’s new and old democracies under siege. Daniel Ziblatt is Professor of Government at Harvard University where he is also a resident fellow of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies. He is also currently Fernand Braudel Senior Fellow at the European University Institute. His first book, Structuring the State: The Formation of Italy and Germany and the Puzzle of Federalism (2006) received several prizes from the American Political Science Association. He has written extensively on the emergence of democracy in European political history, publishing in journals such as American Political Science Review, Journal of Economic History, and World Politics.

The stand taken by the Scottish nation throughout the Schism was particu- larly significant, yet, until recently, Scottish historians had explored only inadequately the original sources existing in the Vatican Archives. During the academic year 1961-2, the University of Glasgow awarded me a research scholarship with the specific aim of examining the letter-books, or registers, of one of the rival popes, and of noting systematically all the entries concerning Scotland. A microfilm of this source material is deposited with the Department of Scottish History. This project was instrumental in introducing me to the late Dr Annie I. Dunlop. It won her immediate and enthusiastic approval and she followed its progress with lively interest. Only a few months before her death, Dr Dunlop asked me, if I was still working hard for Scotland ! This Calendar of Papal Letters of Clement vn of Avignon relating to Scotland is the result of that work.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Most investigations of early twentieth-century Liberalism have centred on the politics of Campbell-Bannerman and Asquith's cabinets, the thought of Liberal intellectuals, and the struggles of local parties.1 But the world of the backbencher remains relatively obscure. When he has been studied, it has usually been in the mass as historians have sought to chart changes in the social background of Liberal MPs or tabulate their opinions, as expressed in parliamentary divisions, on topics like social reform or the relative merits of Asquith and Lloyd George.2 Much less is known about the lives of backbench MPs. This is largely because few of these men left any detailed records. The only published diary of a backbench Liberal MP for this period is that of R.D. Holt, MP for Hexham 1907-1918, and this can be supplemented by a handful of similar sources in archives around the country.3 The letters which Arnold Rowntree wrote to his wife, Mary, while he was MP for York in 1910-1918 provide an important addition to the existing material. They are particularly significant for three reasons. Firstly, Rowntree was, in many ways, a fairly typical Liberal backbencher. He was a middle-aged nonconformist businessman, sitting for a constituency that was his home and the location of his business. But he provides an important corrective to the idea that all men from this background were, like R.D. Holt, necessarily enemies of the New Liberalism. Secondly, Rowntree's letters are not just concerned with parlia- mentary politics. They cover all his interests, including his family, business, and religion and his charitable work.
