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. -

Dundee's Tree & Woodland Heritage
Dundee’s Tree Woodland Heritage& 1 A Green City Introduction This short publication aims to make residents and visitors more aware of Dundee’s rich arboricultural heritage. s Trees and woods provide a unique living t s e r legacy, reflecting the evolution of the City o l f a i c over the centuries. r e m m o e c l A visit to some of the sites listed will b a n i a provide glimpses into the history t s u of Dundee, and an introduction to d s n d a some colourful characters from the e g a n past; merchants, heroes, explorers, a y m l b revolutionaries, industrialists and i s n o everyday people. Every location has its p s e own part to play in making Dundee’s m r o r d f special sense of place. e c r u o l s a i r There can be few cities in the world e t a which can boast their own unique form s m n i a t of tree. Dundee is privileged in this n o n c respect to have the Camperdown Elm, o i t a c i now widely grown around the world as l b u a cultivar. This, along with the rest of s p i h n t Dundee’s rich green legacy, is something i r e p of which Dundonians should be a e p h justifiably proud.
