by Christopher A . Whatley (Author)
Tracing the background to the Treaty of Union of 1707, this book explains why it happened and assesses its impact on Scottish society, including the bitter struggle with the Jacobites for acceptance of the union in the two decades that followed its inauguration. It challenges dominant view that the Scots were 'bought and sold for English gold'.
