    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.

Four additional letters written by MacDiarmid’s second wife, Valda Grieve, to Sorley MacLean have also been included as they shed further light on the relationship which evolved between the two poets over the course of almost fifty years of friendship. These letters from Valda were archived with the unpublished correspondence from MacDiarmid which the Gaelic poet preserved. The critical introduction to the letters examines the significance of these poets’ literary collaboration in relation to the Scottish Renaissance and the Gaelic Literary Revival in Scotland, both movements following Ezra Pound’s Modernist maxim, “Make it new.” The first chapter, “Forging a Friendship”, situates the development of the men’s relationship in iii terms of each writer’s literary career, MacDiarmid already having achieved fame through his early lyrics and with the 1926 publication of A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle when they first met.

  • Universiv Microfilms International 3Ü0 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer cf a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Sc414consultation: Community Council Boundaries
    THIS REPORT RELATES STIRLING COUNCIL TO ITEM ON THE AGENDA STIRLING COUNCIL CORPORATE 22 JUNE 2006 NOT EXEMPT CONSULTATION: COMMUNITY COUNCIL BOUNDARIES’ COTERMINOSITY WITH MULTI-MEMBER WARDS AND RELATED ISSUES 1 PURPOSE 1.1 To advise Council of a pre-consultation process with Stirling’s Community Councils; and 1.2 To seek approval to enter into a formal (statutory) eight-week consultation period to enable the current Community Council Scheme of Establishment to be amended to ensure that all Community Council boundaries will be coterminous with the boundaries of the new multi-member wards. 2 SUMMARY 2.1 Following confirmation of the new Stirling Council multi-member ward boundaries by the Boundary Commission and Minister for Finance and Public Service Reform, a mapping exercise was undertaken by the Community Governance and Research teams to show which community councils would have to alter their boundaries to make them coterminous with the new wards. 2.2 As a result of views expressed at the Community Conference held on October 2005, a pre-consultation has been held with community councils to ask if they considered it would be appropriate to amend their boundaries to make them coterminous with multi-member wards. Community councils were also asked their views on whether some community councils would benefit from being warded and whether area community planning boundaries should also be altered. Questions on the ongoing willingness to investigate corporate body status and whether to introduce a new Code of Conduct for Community Councillors were also asked. This pre-consultation process is a forerunner to a more formalised statutory process, which will now have to be undertaken to amend the Community Council Scheme of Establishment (Appendix 1).
