The bargain : why the UK works so well for Scotland

Miers, Tom2022
Books, Manuscripts
Three hundred years ago Scotland entered into an extraordinary bargain with its English neighbour. Like all the best deals it involved giving away little - the tokens of sovereignty - in exchange for major gains: economic, political and cultural. Control over key domestic matters was retained.
