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. -

The text is an autograph Greek Encomium on King Henry VIII composed in verse by Dr George Etheridge, former Regius Professor of Greek at the University of Oxford, on the occasion of H.M. Queen Elizabeth I’s visit to Oxford in 1566. Preserved in a unique manuscript of the Royal Collection in the British Library, this short rhetorical text sheds further light on the reception and development of Hellenic Studies in Tudor England. At the same time it reminds us of the long and strong relations between the two nations, fostered by Your Majesty, by H.R.H. The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and by other members of the Royal family and Your Government during Your long reign. This online edition, which combines traditional scholarship with innovative technology, is open to the public and the international academic community free of charge on our website http://www.rhul.ac.uk/Hellenic-Institute/Research/Etheridge/ and we very much hope that Your Majesty will also be able to spare the time to visit our website and to read the Encomium addressed to Your forebears at first hand. -

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. -

A DOCUMENTARY ACCOUNT of the Foundation of the British Academy
A DOCUMENTARY ACCOUNT OF The Foundation of the British Academy 1 Letter sent by the Secretaries of the Royal Society to certain ‘distinguished men of letters’, 21 November 1899 The Royal Society Burlington House, W. November 21, 1899 Sir, We are directed by the President and Council of the Royal Society to inform you that a project for the foundation of an International Association of Academies has been under consideration for some time. A preliminary gathering of representatives of the principal Academies of the world was held at Wiesbaden in the autumn of the present year [October 1899]. The enclosed “Proposed Statutes of Constitution and Procedure” will inform you as to the resolutions adopted. It is probable that the first formal meeting of the Association will be held in Paris in 1900, and that the resolutions of the Wiesbaden Conference will then be formally accepted as the basis of the constitution of the Association. Until the meeting took place at Wiesbaden, it was uncertain whether the Association would be formed of Scientific Academies only; but, as you will see, it was decided to form two sections, the one devoted to Natural Science, and the other to Literature, Antiquities and Philosophy. Although the conditions which Academies claiming admission must fulfil were not formally defined, it is understood (1) that no Society devoted to one subject or to a small range of subjects will be regarded as an “Academy”, and (2) that, as a rule, only one Academy will be admitted from each country to the literary and scientific sections respectively. So far as we are aware, there is no Society in England dealing with subjects embraced by the “Literary” Section which satisfies the first of these conditions.
