    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

James Halliday was born in Wemyss Bay on 27 February 1927. He was educated at Skelmorlie Primary School and Greenock Academy. Halliday had been a nationalist from early days and joined the SNP in 1943 as soon as he was eligible. He attended Glasgow University in 1944. However, tuberculosis of the spine forced him to take a two-year gap. He resumed his university education in 1947 and became very active in the Glasgow University Nationalist Association. Halliday graduated in 1952 with an honours degree in history and went on to teach at Ardeer, Coatbridge, Uddingston and Dunfermline High Schools. From Dunfermline he moved to Dundee College of Education as a lecturer in history in 1967, where he became principal lecturer in 1979 and head of department until his retirement in 1988. He specialised in modern history and had a particular interest in the history, politics and constitution of the United States and of Scotland. He authored several books. Halliday played a pivotal role in stabilising the SNP in the 1950s. He replaced Dr Robert D. McIntyre as chairman of the party in 1956, thus becoming the youngest chairman at the age of 28.
