Our students continue to excel both in terms of LLB performance with 22% securing overall Firsts but also with several successes in national mooting competitions, further details below. At postgraduate level we had the first Diploma Awards Ceremony since the repatriation of the Diploma and continue to be the leading provider in Scotland. Lord Gill presented the awards and delivered the charge to the students. In the autumn the LLM Graduation was marked by the award of an honorary LLD to Judge Bruno Simma, then a judge at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Furthermore, two new LLM Programmes, Intellectual Property and the Digital Economy and International Law and Security , were launched in September. In terms of academic events the year was marked by the 25 th James Wood Lecture delivered in the autumn by Baroness Brenda Hale, Justice of the Supreme Court, and the first Andrew Dewar Gibb Lecture delivered in the spring by Lady Hazel Cosgrove. A number of other lectures, seminars and workshops were organised bringing to the University of Glasgow and to the School of Law academics, practitioners and judges from the UK and abroad. As evidenced by the list of publications annexed to the Report, academic staff have been productive publishing seventeen books and a significant number of articles in leading national and international journals. The work of colleagues in the School has been recognised nationally and internationally by either election to prestigious bodies or awards for outstanding contributions to innovative teaching programmes. The internationalisation of the School of Law continues with several new academic appointments coming from European Universities. For our undergraduate students the School participated in Summer Schools organised in Italy and The Netherlands. We have also been active in recruiting non-UK students. The recruitment activities have focussed on Germany, Norway, China and Brazil. Several agreements have been signed with non-UK Schools of Law primarily facilitating mobility of undergraduate and postgraduate students. The School has continued to welcome foreign visitors who are accommodated in the School for periods ranging from a month to a year. 3 The highlight of the year in terms of a significant appointment was the recruitment of a distinguished academic to the Regius Chair in Law which has been vacant of a number of years. James Chalmers, an expert in Criminal Law, and formerly from the University of Edinburgh, was appointed to a Chair of Law and nominated to the Scottish Executive as the University’s candidate for the Regius Chair. The appointment enables the School to initiate in January 2013, the tercentenary celebrations of the establishment of the Regius Chair. During the following 12 months, a number of events will be organised to focus attention on the School’s excellent scholarship in terms of research and teaching as well as the achievements of its alumni. The celebrations will be launched on Thursday 17 January 2013 with the inaugural lecture of Professor James Chalmers, Regius Chair in Law. Professor Rosa Greaves Head of School August 2012 4 Staffing As we have come to expect the year was marked by a number of staff departures and arrivals.

    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.

Rien, bien sûr, ne serait plus faux, car, comme on le verra dans la suite de cet article, la victoire historique du Scottish National Party (SNP) et la voie que celle-ci lui ouvre vers la tenue d’un référendum sur l’indépendance, ont été rendues possibles, certes par la qualité intrinsèque du parti dirigé actuellement par Alex Salmond mais aussi par la perception de plus en plus négative des autres partis en lice de la part de l’électorat écossais.

    Penn History Review Volume 26 Issue 1 Penn History Review: Journal of Article 3 Undergraduate Historians 6-6-2019 “Winning Little aB nnockburns”: Memory, the Great War, and the Rise of Scottish Nationalism Brooke Krancer University of Pennsylvania This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/phr/vol26/iss1/3 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Memory, the Great War, & the Rise of Scottish Nationalism “Winning Little Bannockburns”: Memory, the Great War, and the Rise of Scottish Nationalism Brooke Krancer On June 20, 1914, at the sexcentenary celebration of the Scottish defeat of the English at the Battle of Bannockburn, for- mer British prime minister Lord Rosebery addressed the youth of Scotland: Do you children feel that you, too, might grow up to be heroes like them; to be ready, if necessary, to die for your country, your freedom, and your King; and if that chance do not come, as I hope it may not, to be heroes, as you may all be in your daily lives, winning little Bannock burns for yourselves over the forces of evil? Try.1 Mere weeks later, Britain was embroiled in the First World War. The sort of rhetoric used by the English Lord Rosebery was ex- ceedingly common during the war, appropriating the memory of Bannockburn and Scotland’s martial history of victory against England in the Wars of Independence to reinforce the idea of a British rather than Scottish identity and encourage Scottish peo- ple to die for a British king and country.2 After the conflict, the Great War itself would be folded into this mythologized memory of Scotland’s history and likewise used for ideological and politi- cal reasons by different groups with varying goals.

  • International Journal of Scottish Literature ISSN 1751-2808
    international journal of scottish literature www.ijsl.stir.ac.uk ISSN 1751-2808 ISSUE EIGHT, AUTUMN/WINTER 2011 Editorial: ‘Round the spaces where the buildings were’[1] This issue of IJSL looks to the rune, the copy and the manifesto as means of defying time, and to the implication of ruin in every cultural revival – the cleared space before and after the building. Articles centred mainly on the twentieth-century address a modernist primitivism uniting skaldic permanence with Bergsonian durée réelle, the overtly textualised double as national allegory, repetition as the basis of urban ethos, and the false dawn of the Renascence before the Renaissance. Neil Rhind’s essay on Poor Things disentangles the novel’s playful web of mimetic aporias, paying special attention to the ‘double fabrication’ of Bella’s story and its tripling by her pictorial rendering as an idealised national icon. Anchored in an almost nostalgic Victorian Kelvingrove, Gray’s bold re-mediation of Frankenstein and the Shelley circle fuses with a metafictive commentary on Glasgow 1990, drawing the apparently monumental symbolism of ‘Bella Caledonia’ directly into the cultural politics of devolution. Manfred Malzahn offers a tour d’horizon set firmly within the boundaries of the Scottish and urban, from the dullard minstrels of a hellish late-medieval Edinburgh to the city’s ‘bourgeois reconquista’ in the age of Trainspotting, and the shift from a city of pungently communal, contested territory to one experienced only as ‘blind space’ through which the individual makes a meaningless (if not frictionless) passage. But perhaps Edwin Muir’s sense of the repressed desire of a Scottish street crowd, and its ‘apparently unmotivated intentness’, has no more to do with Calvinism than the pointed question of T.S.

  • From Jacobitism to the SNP: the Crown, the Union and the Scottish Question
    From Jacobitism to the SNP: the Crown, the Union and the Scottish Question The Stenton Lecture 2013 An earlier version of this paper was delivered as the Stenton Lecture at the Univer- sity of Reading on 21 November 2013 ! Confusion of a strangely willed kind surrounds the events of 26 January 2011, an occasion whose - metaphorical - fogginess will yield footnotes for years to come in the scholarship of British constitutional theorists. This was the day on which Gerry Adams, the Sinn Féin President and MP for West Belfast, who wished to stand as a candidate for Louth in the upcoming Irish elections to the Dáil, re- signed as an MP from Westminster; or, at least, thought he had. For, of course, British constitutional procedure does not permit an MP to resign. Rather the exit from Westminster is a circuitous one; a Member cannot simply evade his or her re- sponsibilities and resign, but has to take an office of profit under the crown - most famously, of course, the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds - which automatical- ly disqualifies him or her from the Commons. In the event, the Prime Minister David Cameron announced - with a hint of schoolboy sniggering - that Gerry Adams had accepted just such a post, another quasi-Ruritanian sinecure, namely that of Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. The Sinn Féin President was indig- nant, and denied that any thing of the sort had happened: ‘I simply resigned….I am an Irish Republican. I have had no truck with these antiquated and quite bizarre aspects of the British parliamentary system.’1 Whether one takes the view that the Prime Minister accurately parsed the legal fiction involved, or whether Adams was strictly correct in his blunt assessment of what had happened, one thing is clear: the Sinn Féin President’s Irish nationalism was rooted in an uncompromising repub- licanism - as everybody knew, which is precisely why the Prime Minister found it a cause for mirth, and why Adams was decidedly not amused.

Keith Dixon Triangle Université Lumière Lyon 2, Département d'Anglais, 86 rue Pasteur, F- 69635 Lyon Cedex 07, kdixon[at]wanadoo.fr Abstract This paper argues that New Labour’s devolution proposals can be seen as part of a strategy of « political distinction » from the Conservative party, all the more necessary as there had been a conspicuous convergence in most other policy areas. After retracing the history of Labour attitudes towards Home Rule on the periphery of the United Kingdom in the XXth century, the paper focuses on the contemporary period, suggesting that Thatcherism was perceived as an “alien” doctrine in both Scotland and Wales, thus hardening the resolve of a significant part of the population to loosen or break the old constitutional ties.

  • The Saltire Society Literary Awards, 1936-2015: a Cultural History
    The Saltire Society Literary Awards, 1936-2015: A Cultural History Stevie Marsden A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Publishing Studies University of Stirling 2016 2 Abstract This thesis presents a history of the Saltire Society Literary Awards and examines their status and role within Scotland’s literary and publishing culture. The Society was founded at a critical inter-war period during which Scottish writers, artists and cultural commentators were re-imagining Scotland’s political and cultural identity. The Society, therefore, was a product of this reformative era in Scotland’s modern history. The Society’s identity and position within this inter- and post-war reformation is reflected in the Literary Awards, which are a means by which the Society attempts to accomplish some of its constitutional aims. The purpose of this thesis is three-fold. Firstly, it has filled a conspicuous gap in modern Scottish cultural history by offering a historically accurate description of the founding of the Saltire Society in 1936 and the development of the Society’s Literary Awards up until 2015. Secondly, this thesis demonstrates how the Society’s Literary Awards function in relation to key critical discourses pertinent to contemporary book award culture, such as forms of capital, national identity and gender. Finally, this thesis proffers an in-depth analysis of book award judgment culture. Through an analysis of the linguistic and social interactions between Saltire Society Literary Award judges, this thesis is the first study of its kind which considers exactly how literary award judging panels facilitate the judgement process.

The rise of Sinn Fein, the impact of the First World War and the Easter Rising, followed by the formation of the Irish Free State in 1921 and Eire in 1937 all occurred within these forty or so years. This thesis explores the nature and extent of the impact that Irish nationalism had on Scotland in this period. This thesis divides these years into four segments: from 1898 when Irish nationalists began to renew their activities in Scotland in earnest, to the Easter Rising in 1916 (i); from the suppression of the Easter Rising until the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922 (ii); from 1922 until the 1931 census when anti-Irish prejudice was widespread again in Scotland, coming in particular from the Church of Scotland and associated institutions (iii); from the Depression to the coming of the Second World War in 1939, when these institutions altered their campaigns to become anti-Catholic in general and the IRA once again looked to Scotland for assistance.
