Scotland in the modern era

Scotland in the modern era,from the end of theJacobite risingsand beginnings of industrialisation in the 18th century to the present day, has played a major part in the economic, military and political history of the United Kingdom, British Empire and Europe, while recurring issues over the status of Scotland, its status and identity have dominated political debate.

Scotland made a major contribution to the intellectual life of Europe, particularly in theEnlightenment,producing major figures including the economistAdam Smith,philosophersFrancis HutchesonandDavid Hume,and scientistsWilliam Cullen,Joseph BlackandJames Hutton.In the 19th century major figures includedJames Watt,James Clerk Maxwell,Lord KelvinandSir Walter Scott.Scotland's economic contribution to the Empire and theIndustrial Revolutionincluded its banking system and the development of cotton, coal mining, shipbuilding and an extensive railway network. Industrialisation and changes to agriculture and society led to depopulation andclearancesof the largely rural highlands, migration to the towns and mass emigration, where Scots made a major contribution to the development of countries including the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

In the 20th century, Scotland played a major role in the British and allied effort in the two world wars and began to suffer a sharpindustrial decline,going through periods of considerable political instability. The decline was particularly acute in the second half of the 20th century, but was compensated for to a degree by the development of an extensive oil industry, technological manufacturing and a growing service sector. This period also increasing debates about the place of Scotland within the United Kingdom, the rise of theScottish National Partyand after a referendum in 1999 the establishment of a devolvedScottish Parliament.

Late 18th century and 19th century

With the advent of theUnionwith England and the demise ofJacobitism,thousands of Scots, mainly Lowlanders, took up positions of power in politics, civil service, the army and navy, trade, economics, colonial enterprises and other areas across the nascentBritish Empire.Historian Neil Davidson notes that "after 1746 there was an entirely new level of participation by Scots in political life, particularly outside Scotland". Davidson also states that "far from being 'peripheral' to the British economy, Scotland – or more precisely, the Lowlands – lay at its core".^[1]

Politics

Scottish politics in the late 18th century and throughout the 19th century was dominated by theWhigsand (after 1859) their successors theLiberal Party.From theScottish Reform Act 1832(which increased the number of Scottish MPs and significantly widened the franchise to include more of the middle classes), until the end of the century they managed to gain a majority of the Westminster Parliamentary seats for Scotland, although these were often outnumbered by the much larger number of English and Welsh Conservatives.^[2]English-educated Scottish peerLord Aberdeen(1784–1860) led a coalition government from 1852 to 1855, but in general very few Scots held office in the government.^[3]From the mid-century there were increasing calls for Home Rule for Scotland and when the ConservativeLord Salisburybecame prime minister in 1885 he responded to pressure for more attention to be paid to Scottish issues by reviving the post ofSecretary of State for Scotland,which had been in abeyance since 1746.^[4]He appointed theDuke of Richmond,a wealthy landowner who was both Chancellor of Aberdeen University and Lord Lieutenant of Banff.^[5]Towards the end of the century the first Scottish Liberal to become prime minister wasthe Earl of Rosebery(1847–1929), like Aberdeen before him a product of the English education system.^[6]In the later 19th century the issue ofIrish Home Ruleled to a split among the Liberals, with a minority breaking away to form theLiberal Unionistsin 1886.^[2]The growing importance of the working classes was marked byKeir Hardie's success in theMid Lanarkshire by-election, 1888,leading to the foundation of theScottish Labour Party,which was absorbed into theIndependent Labour Partyin 1895, with Hardie as its first leader.^[7]

The main unit of local government was the parish, and since it was also part of the church, the elders imposed public humiliation for what the locals considered immoral behaviour, including fornication, drunkenness, wife beating, cursing and Sabbath breaking. The main focus was on the poor and the landlords ( "lairds" ) and gentry, and their servants, were not subject to the parish's discipline. The policing system weakened after 1800 and disappeared in most places by the 1850s.^[8]

Enlightenment

Adam Smith.the "father of modern economics"

In the 18th century, the Scottish Enlightenment brought the country to the front of intellectual achievement in Europe. Perhaps the poorest country in Western Europe in 1707, Scotland reaped the economic benefits offree tradewithin the British Empire together with the intellectual benefits of a highly developed university system.^[9]Under these twin stimuli, Scottish thinkers began questioning assumptions previously taken for granted; and with Scotland's traditional connections to France, then in the throes ofthe Enlightenment,the Scots began developing a uniquely practical branch ofhumanismto the extent thatVoltairesaid "we look to Scotland for all our ideas ofcivilization".^[10]

The first major philosopher of the Scottish Enlightenment wasFrancis Hutcheson,who held the Chair of Philosophy at theUniversity of Glasgowfrom 1729 to 1746. A moral philosopher who produced alternatives to the ideas ofThomas Hobbes,one of his major contributions to world thought was theutilitarianandconsequentialistprinciple that virtue is that which provides, in his words, "the greatest happiness for the greatest numbers". Much of what is incorporated in thescientific method(the nature of knowledge, evidence, experience, and causation) and some modern attitudes towards the relationship between science and religion were developed by his protegesDavid HumeandAdam Smith.^[11]

Hume became a major figure in thesceptical philosophicalandempiricisttraditions of philosophy. He and other Scottish Enlightenment thinkers developed what he called a 'science of man',^[12]which was expressed historically in works by authors includingJames Burnett,Adam Ferguson,John MillarandWilliam Robertson,all of whom merged a scientific study of how humans behave in ancient and primitive cultures with a strong awareness of the determining forces ofmodernity.Indeed, modern sociology largely originated from this movement.^[13]Adam Smith developed and publishedThe Wealth of Nations,the first work on modern economics. It had an immediate impact on Britisheconomic policyand still frames 21st century discussions onglobalisationandtariffs.^[14]The focus of the Scottish Enlightenment ranged from intellectual and economic matters to the specifically scientific as in the work ofWilliam Cullen,physician and chemist,James Anderson,anagronomist,Joseph Black,physicistand chemist, andJames Hutton,the first modern geologist.^[11]^[15]While the Scottish Enlightenment is traditionally considered to have concluded toward the end of the 18th century,^[12]disproportionately large Scottish contributions to British science and letters continued for another 50 years or more, thanks to such figures asJames Hutton,James Watt,William Murdoch,James Clerk Maxwell,Lord KelvinandSir Walter Scott.^[16]

Religion

The late 18th and 19th centuries saw a fragmentation of theChurch of Scotlandthat had been created in theReformation.These fractures were prompted by issues of government and patronage, but reflected a wider division between theEvangelicalsand theModerate Partyover fears of fanaticism by the former and the acceptance of Enlightenment ideas by the latter. The legal right of lay patrons to present clergymen of their choice to local ecclesiastical livings led to minor schisms from the church. The first in 1733, known as theFirst Secession,led to the creation of a series of secessionist churches. The second in 1761 lead to the foundation of the independentRelief Church.^[17]Gaining strength in theEvangelical Revivalof the later 18th century^[18]and after prolonged years of struggle, in 1834 the Evangelicals gained control of theGeneral Assemblyand passed the Veto Act, which allowed congregations to reject unwanted "intrusive" presentations to livings by patrons. The following "Ten Years' Conflict" of legal and political wrangling ended in defeat for the non-intrusionists in the civil courts. The result was a schism from the church by some of the non-intrusionists led by DrThomas Chalmersknown as the GreatDisruption of 1843.Roughly a third of the clergy, mainly from the North and Highlands, formed the separateFree Church of Scotland.In the late 19th century the major debates were between fundamentalist Calvinists and theological liberals, who rejected a literal interpretation of the Bible. This resulted in a further split in the Free Church as the rigid Calvinists broke away to form theFree Presbyterian Churchin 1893.^[17]There were, however, also moves towards reunion, beginning with the unification of some secessionist churches into theUnited Secession Churchin 1820, which united with the Relief Church in 1847 to form theUnited Presbyterian Church,which in turn joined with the Free Church in 1900. The removal of legislation on lay patronage allowed the majority of the Free Church to rejoin Church of Scotland in 1929. The schisms left small denominations including theFree Presbyteriansand a remnant as theFree Churchfrom 1900.^[17]

By the mid-18th century, Catholicism had been reduced to the fringes of the country, particularly theGaelic-speaking areas of the Highlands and Islands. Conditions grew worse for Catholics after the Jacobite risings and Catholicism was reduced to little more than a poorly run mission. However,Catholic Emancipationin 1829 and the influx of large numbers of Irish immigrants, particularly after the famine years of the late 1840s, principally to the growing lowland centres like Glasgow, led to a transformation of its fortunes. In 1878, despite opposition, a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical hierarchy was restored to the country, and Catholicism became a significant denomination within Scotland.^[17]Also important was Episcopalianism, which had retained supporters through the civil wars and changes of regime in the 17th century. Since most Episcopalians had given their support to the Jacobite risings in the early 18th century they suffered a decline in fortunes, but revived in the 19th as the issue of succession receded, becoming established as theEpiscopal Church in Scotlandin 1804, as an autonomous organisation in communion with theChurch of England.^[17]Baptist,CongregationalistandMethodistchurches also appeared in Scotland in the 18th century, but did not begin significant growth until the 19th century,^[17]partly because more radical and evangelical traditions already existed within the Church of Scotland and the free churches. From 1879 they were joined by the evangelical revivalism of theSalvation Army,which attempted to make major inroads in the growing urban centres.^[18]

Industrial Revolution

New Lanark,cotton mills and housing on the River Clyde, founded in 1786

During theIndustrial Revolution,Scotland became one of the commercial and industrial centres of the British Empire.^[19]With tariffs with England now abolished, the potential for trade for Scottish merchants was considerable, especially withColonial America.However, the economic benefits of union were very slow to appear, primarily because Scotland was too poor to exploit the opportunities of the greatly expanded free market. Scotland in 1750 was still a poor rural, agricultural society with a population of 1.3 million.^[20]Some progress was visible, such as the sales of linen and cattle to England, the cash flows from military service, and the tobacco trade that was dominated by Glasgow after 1740. The clippers belonging to the GlasgowTobacco Lordswere the fastest ships on the route to Virginia.^[21]Merchants who profited from the American trade began investing in leather, textiles, iron, coal, sugar, rope, sailcloth, glassworks, breweries, and soapworks, setting the foundations for the city's emergence as a leading industrial centre after 1815.^[22]The tobacco trade collapsed during the American Revolution (1776–83), when it sources were cut off by the British blockade of American ports. However, trade with the West Indies began to make up for the loss of the tobacco business,^[23]reflecting the extensive growth of the cotton industry, the British demand for sugar and the demand in the West Indies for herring and linen goods. During 1750–1815, 78 Glasgow merchants not only specialised in the importation of sugar, cotton, and rum from the West Indies, but diversified their interests by purchasing West Indian plantations, Scottish estates, or cotton mills. They were not to be self-perpetuating due to the hazards of the trade, the incident of bankruptcy, and the changing complexity of Glasgow's economy.^[24]

Linen was Scotland's premier industry in the 18th century and formed the basis for the later cotton, jute,^[25]and woollen industries.^[26]Scottish industrial policy was made by theBoard of Trustees for Fisheries and Manufactures in Scotland,which sought to build an economy complementary, not competitive, with England. Since England had woollens, this meant linen. Encouraged and subsidised by the Board of Trustees so it could compete with German products, merchant entrepreneurs became dominant in all stages of linen manufacturing and built up the market share of Scottish linens, especially in the American colonial market.^[27]The British Linen Company, established in 1746, was the largest firm in the Scottish linen industry in the 18th century, exporting linen to England and America. As a joint-stock company, it had the right to raise funds through the issue of promissory notes or bonds. With its bonds functioning as bank notes, the company gradually moved into the business of lending and discounting to other linen manufacturers, and in the early 1770s banking became its main activity. Renamed theBritish Linen Bankin 1906, it was one of Scotland's premier banks until it was bought out by the Bank of Scotland in 1969.^[28]It joined the established Scottish banks such as theBank of Scotland(Edinburgh, 1695) and theRoyal Bank of Scotland(Edinburgh, 1727).^[29]Glasgow would soon follow and Scotland had a flourishing financial system by the end of the century. There were over 400 branches, amounting to one office per 7000 people, double the level in England. The banks were more lightly regulated than those in England. Historians often emphasise that the flexibility and dynamism of the Scottish banking system contributed significantly to the rapid development of the economy in the 19th century.^[30]^[31]

From about 1790 textiles became the most important industry in the west of Scotland, especially the spinning and weaving of cotton, which flourished until in 1861 theAmerican Civil Warcut off the supplies of raw cotton.^[32]The industry never recovered, but by that time Scotland had developed heavy industries based on its coal and iron resources. The invention of the hot blast for smelting iron (1828) revolutionised the Scottish iron industry. As a result, Scotland became a centre for engineering, shipbuilding and the production of locomotives. Toward the end of the 19th century, steel production largely replaced iron production.^[33]

Coal mining became a major industry, and continued to grow into the 20th century, producing the fuel to heat homes, factories and drive steam engines, locomotives and steamships. By 1914 there were 1,000,000 coal miners in Scotland. The stereotype emerged early on of Scottish colliers as brutish, non-religious and socially isolated serfs;^[34]that was an exaggeration, for their life style resembled coal miners everywhere, with a strong emphasis on masculinity, egalitarianism, group solidarity, and support for radical labour movements.^[35]

Britain was the world leader in the construction of railways, and their use to expand trade and coal supplies. The first successful locomotive-powered line in Scotland, betweenMonklandandKirkintilloch,opened in 1831.^[36]Not only was good passenger service established by the late 1840s, but an excellent network of freight lines reduce the cost of shipping coal, and made products manufactured in Scotland competitive throughout Britain. For example, railways opened the London market to Scottish beef and milk. They enabled theAberdeen Angusto become a cattle breed of worldwide reputation.^[37]^[38]

Urbanisation

Scotland was already one of the most urbanised societies in Europe by 1800.^[39]The industrial belt ran across the country from southwest to northeast; by 1900 the four industrialised counties of Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, Dunbartonshire, and Ayrshire contained 44 per cent of the population.^[40]Glasgow and theRiver Clydebecame a major shipbuilding centre. Glasgow became one of the largest cities in the world, and known as "the Second City of the Empire" after London.^[41]Shipbuilding onClydeside(the river Clyde through Glasgow and other points) began when the first small yards were opened in 1712 at theScott family'sshipyard at Greenock. After 1860 the Clydeside shipyards specialised in steamships made of iron (after 1870, made of steel), which rapidly replaced the wooden sailing vessels of both the merchant fleets and the battle fleets of the world. It became the world's pre-eminent shipbuilding centre.Clydebuiltbecame an industry benchmark of quality, and the river's shipyards were given contracts for warships, as well as prestigious liners. It reached its peak in the years 1900–18, with an output of 370 ships completed in 1913, and even more during theFirst World War.^[42]

The industrial developments, while they brought work and wealth, were so rapid that housing, town-planning, and provision for public health did not keep pace with them, and for a time living conditions in some of the towns and cities were notoriously bad, with overcrowding, high infant mortality, and growing rates of tuberculosis.^[43]The companies attracted rural workers, as well as immigrants from Catholic Ireland, by inexpensive company housing that was a dramatic move upward from the inner-city slums. This paternalistic policy led many owners to support government sponsored housing programs as well as self-help projects among the respectable working class.^[44]

Highlands

Modern historians suggest that due to economic and social change, the clan system in the highlands was already declining by the time of the failed1745 rising.^[45]In its aftermath the British government enacted a series of laws that attempted to speed the process, including a ban on the bearing of arms, the wearing of tartan and limitations on the activities of the Episcopalian Church. Most of the legislation was repealed by the end of the 18th century as the Jacobite threat subsided. There was soon a process of the rehabilitation of highland culture. Tartan had already been adopted for highland regiments in the British army, which poor highlanders joined in large numbers until the end of theNapoleonic Warsin 1815, but by the 19th century it had largely been abandoned by the ordinary people. In the 1820s, as part of theRomantic revival,tartan and the kilt were adopted by members of the social elite, not just in Scotland, but across Europe.^[46]^[47]The international craze for tartan and for idealising a romanticised highlands was set off by theOssiancycle published by Scottish poetJames Macpherson's in 1761–2.^[48]^[49]Sir Walter Scott'sWaverley novelsfurther helped popularise Scottish life and history. His "staging" of the royalVisit of King George IV to Scotlandin 1822 and the king's wearing of tartan resulted in a massive upsurge in demand for kilts and tartans that could not be met by the Scottish linen industry. The designation of individual clan tartans was largely defined in this period and they became a major symbol of Scottish identity.^[50]The fashion for all things Scottish was maintained by Queen Victoria who help secure the identity of Scotland as a tourist resort and the popularity of the tartan fashion. Her Highland enthusiasm led to the design of two tartan patterns, "Victoria" and "Balmoral", the latter named after hercastle Balmoralin Aberdeenshire, which from 1852 became a major royal residence.^[47]

The reality of the Highlands was that of an agriculturally marginal region, with only an estimated 9% of its land suitable for arable production.^[51]^: 18It was subject to recurrent famine and, from the 18th century onwards, was experiencing population growth.^[52]^{: 415–416}The sale of black cattle out of the region balanced an inward trade of oatmeal that was essential to sustain the peasant population.^[52]^: 48-49Highland landlords, who, through their integration into Scottish landowning society, were now exposed to the costs of living in London or Edinburgh and were becoming chronically indebted.^[53]^: 417Rents were increased.Factorsand land surveyors who had studied the economic principles of theScottish Enlightenmentput forward plans for agricultural improvement to landowners who were looking to maximise the income from their lands. The usual solution, particularly in the North and West of the Highlands, was the establishment of large sheep farm tenancies. The result of this was the eviction of tenants who had farmedrun rigarable plots and raised livestock on common grazing. Typically they were offeredcroftsand expected to work in other industries such as fishing or kelping.^[a]^[52]^: 79Some chose to emigrate, rejecting the loss of status from farmer to crofter.^[54]^: 173^[55]^: 208In the southeastern Highlands there was migration to the growing cities of the Lowlands. These evictions were the first phase of theHighland clearances.

At the end of theNapoleonic Wars,the few successful industries of the Highlands went into decline: cattle prices fell and the kelp industry virtually disappeared over a few years.^[56]^{: 370–371}^[57]^: 187-191

Crofting communities had become common in the Islands and the Western Highlands. Population growth had continued, causing overcrowding: crofts were subdivided, giving less land per person on which to grow food. Their occupiers were dependent on the highly productive potato for survival. Whenpotato blightarrived in Scotland in 1846, a famine of much greater seriousness than earlier events resulted. The blight lasted for about 10 years. Landowners were now without rents from their destitute tenants and were expected by the government to provide famine relief to them. Fortunately many Highland estates now had new owners after hereditary landlords had been compelled to sell due to their debts. These had the funds to support their tenants in the short term, and most did so. Estates that had introduced sheep farming tenants also had the income to assist their crofters. Given the length of the famine, and with suggestions that the government might introduce an "able-bodied"Poor Law,so formalising the cost of famine relief for landowners, a long-term solution was needed. It was cheaper for a landlord to pay the fare for a tenant to emigrate than have an open-ended commitment to provide food. Almost 11,000 people were provided with "assisted passages" by their landlords between 1846 and 1856, with the greatest number travelling in 1851. A further 5,000 emigrated to Australia, through theHighland and Island Emigration Society.To this should be added an unknown, but significant number, who paid their own fares to emigrate, and a further unknown number assisted by theColonial Land and Emigration Commission.^[58]^{: 201, 207, 268}^[51]^: 320^[57]^{: 187–189}

The unequalconcentration of land ownershipremained an emotional subject and eventually became a cornerstone of liberal radicalism. The politically powerless poor crofters embraced the popularly oriented, fervently evangelical Presbyterian revival after 1800^[59]and the breakaway "Free Church" after 1843. This evangelical movement was led by lay preachers who themselves came from the lower strata, and whose preaching was implicitly critical of the established order. The religious change energised the crofters and separated them from the landlords; it helped prepare them for their successful and violent challenge to the landlords in the 1880s through theHighland Land League.^[60]Violence began on theIsle of Skyewhen Highland landlords cleared their lands for sheep and deer parks. It was quieted when the government stepped in passing theCrofters' Holdings (Scotland) Act, 1886to reduce rents, guarantee fixity of tenure, and break up large estates to provide crofts for the homeless.^[61]In 1885 three Independent Crofter candidates were elected to Parliament, which listened to their pleas. The results included explicit security for the Scottish smallholders; the legal right to bequeath tenancies to descendants; and creating aCrofting Commission.The Crofters as a political movement faded away by 1892, and theLiberal Partygained most of their votes.^[62]

Emigration

The population of Scotland grew steadily in the 19th century, from 1,608,000 in the census of 1801 to 2,889,000 in 1851 and 4,472,000 in 1901.^[63]Even with the growth of industry there were insufficient good jobs, as a result, during the period 1841–1931, about 2 million Scots emigrated to North America and Australia, and another 750,000 Scots relocated to England. By the 21st century, there were about as many people who wereScottish CanadiansandScottish Americansas the 5 million remaining in Scotland.^[64]Scots born migrants played a leading role in the foundation and principles of the United States (John Witherspoon,John Paul Jones,Andrew Carnegie),^[65]Canada (John A MacDonald,James Murray,Tommy Douglas),^[66]Australia (Lachlan Macquarie,Thomas Brisbane,Andrew Fisher)^[67]and New Zealand (James Mckenzie,Peter Fraser).^[68]

Education

A legacy of the Reformation in Scotland was the aim of having a school in every parish, which was underlined by an act of the Scottish parliament in 1696 (reinforced in 1801). In rural communities these obliged local landowners (heritors) to provide a schoolhouse and pay a schoolmaster, while ministers and localpresbyteriesoversaw the quality of the education. In many Scottish towns, burgh schools were operated by local councils.^[69]One of the effects of this extensive network of schools was the growth of the "democratic myth" in the 19th century, which created the widespread belief that many a "lad of pairts" had been able to rise up through the system to take high office and that literacy was much more widespread in Scotland than in neighbouring states, particularly England.^[70]Historians now accept that very few boys were able to pursue this route to social advancement and that literacy was not noticeably higher than comparable nations, as the education in the parish schools was basic, short and attendance was not compulsory.^[71]

Industrialisation, urbanisation and the Disruption of 1843 all undermined the tradition of parish schools. From 1830 the state began to fund buildings with grants, then from 1846 it was funding schools by direct sponsorship, and in 1872 Scotland moved to a system like that in England of state-sponsored largely free schools, run by local school boards.^[71]Overall administration was in the hands of the Scotch (later Scottish) Education Department in London.^[72]Education was now compulsory from five to thirteen and many new board schools were built. Larger urban school boards established "higher grade" (secondary) schools as a cheaper alternative to the burgh schools. The Scottish Education Department introduced aLeaving Certificate Examinationin 1888 to set national standards for secondary education and in 1890 school fees were abolished, creating a state-funded national system of free basic education and common examinations.^[70]

The five Scottish universities had been oriented to clerical and legal training, after the religious and political upheavals of the 17th century they recovered with a lecture-based curriculum that was able to embrace economics and science, offering a high quality liberal education to the sons of the nobility and gentry. It helped the universities to become major centres of medical education and to put Scotland at the forefront of Enlightenment thinking.^[70]In the mid 19th century, the historicUniversity of Glasgowbecame a leader in British higher education by providing the educational needs of youth from the urban and commercial classes, as well as the upper class. It prepared students for non-commercial careers in government, the law, medicine, education, and the ministry and a smaller group for careers in science and engineering.^[73]Scottish universities would admit women from 1892.^[70]

Literature

Although Scotland increasingly adopted the English language and wider cultural norms, its literature developed a distinct national identity and began to enjoy an international reputation.Allan Ramsay(1686–1758) laid the foundations of a reawakening of interest in older Scottish literature, as well as leading the trend for pastoral poetry, helping to develop theHabbie stanzaas apoetic form.^[74]James Macphersonwas the first Scottish poet to gain an international reputation, claiming to have found poetry written byOssian,he published translations that acquired international popularity, being proclaimed as a Celtic equivalent of theClassical epics.Fingalwritten in 1762 was speedily translated into many European languages, and its deep appreciation of natural beauty and the melancholy tenderness of its treatment of the ancient legend did more than any single work to bring about theRomantic movementin European, and especially in German, literature, influencingHerderandGoethe.^[75]Eventually it became clear that the poems were not direct translations from the Gaelic, but flowery adaptations made to suit the aesthetic expectations of his audience.^[76]

Robert BurnsandWalter Scottwere highly influenced by the Ossian cycle. Burns, an Ayrshire poet and lyricist, is widely regarded as thenational poetof Scotland and a major figure in the Romantic movement. As well as making original compositions, Burns also collectedfolk songsfrom across Scotland, often revising oradaptingthem. His poem (and song) "Auld Lang Syne"is often sung atHogmanay(the last day of the year), and "Scots Wha Hae"served for a long time as an unofficialnational anthemof the country.^[77]Scott began as a poet and also collected and published Scottish ballads. His first prose work,Waverleyin 1814, is often called the first historical novel.^[78]It launched a highly successful career that probably more than any other helped define and popularise Scottish cultural identity.^[79]

In the late 19th century, a number of Scottish-born authors achieved international reputations.Robert Louis Stevenson's work included theurban GothicnovellaStrange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde(1886), and played a major part in developing the historical adventure in books likeKidnappedandTreasure Island.Arthur Conan Doyle'sSherlock Holmesstories helped found the tradition of detective fiction. The "kailyard tradition"at the end of the century, brought elements offantasyandfolkloreback into fashion as can be seen in the work of figures likeJ. M. Barrie,most famous for his creation ofPeter PanandGeorge MacDonaldwhose works includingPhantasiesplayed a major part in the creation of thefantasygenre.^[80]

Art and architecture

Scotland in this era produced some of the most significant British artists and architects. The influence of Italy was particularly significant, with over fifty Scottish artists and architects known to have travelled there in the period 1730–80.^[81]Many painters of the early part of the eighteenth century remained largely artisans, like the members of the Norie family, James (1684–1757) and his sons, who painted the houses of the peerage with Scottish landscapes that were pastiches of Italian and Dutch landscapes.^[82]The paintersAllan Ramsay(1713–84),^[83]Gavin Hamilton(1723–98),^[84]the brothersJohn(1744–1768/9) andAlexander Runciman(1736–85),^[85]Jacob More(1740–93)^[82]andDavid Allan(1744–96),^[86]mostly began in the tradition of the Nories, but were artists of European significance, spending considerable portions of their careers outside Scotland, and were to varying degree influenced by forms ofNeoclassicism.

The shift in attitudes to a romantic view of the Highlands at the end of the 18th century had a major impact on Scottish art.^[87]Romantic depictions can be seen in the work of 18th-century artists including Jacob More,^[87]and Alexander Runciman.^[88]and the next generation of artists, including the portraits ofHenry Raeburn(1756–1823),^[89]and the landscapes ofAlexander Nasmyth(1758–1840)^[90]and John Knox (1778–1845).^[91]TheRoyal Scottish Academy of Artwas created in 1826, allowing professional painters to more easily exhibit and sell their works.^[92]Andrew Geddes(1783–1844) andDavid Wilkie(1785–1841) were among the most successful portrait painters. The tradition of highland landscape painting was continued by figures such asHoratio McCulloch(1806–67),Joseph Farquharson(1846–1935) andWilliam McTaggart(1835–1910).^[93]Aberdeen bornWilliam Dyce(1806–64), emerged as one of the most significant figures in art education in the United Kingdom.^[94]TheGlasgow School,which developed in the late 19th century, and flourished in the early 20th century, produced a distinctive blend of influences including theCeltic RevivaltheArts and Crafts Movement,andJaponisme,which found favour throughout themodern artworld of continental Europe and helped define theArt Nouveaustyle. Among the most prominent members were the loose collective ofThe Four:acclaimed architectCharles Rennie Mackintosh,his wife the painter andglass artist Margaret MacDonald,her sister the artistFrances,and her husband, the artist and teacherHerbert MacNair.^[95]

Scotland produced some of the most significant British architects of the 18th century, including:Colen Campbell(1676–1729),James Gibbs(1682–1754),James(1732–94),John(1721–92) andRobert Adam(1728–92) andWilliam Chambers(1723–96), who all created work that to some degree looked to classical models. Edinburgh'sNew Townwas the focus of this classical building boom in Scotland. From the mid-eighteenth century it was laid out according to a plan of rectangular blocks with open squares, drawn up byJames Craig.This classicism, together with its reputation as a major centre of the Enlightenment, resulted in the city being nicknamed "The Athens of the North".^[96]However, the centralisation of much of the government administration, including the king's works, in London, meant that a number of Scottish architects spent most of all of their careers in England, where they had a major impact onGeorgian architecture.^[97]

Early 20th century

In the 20th century, Scotland made a major contribution to the British participation in the two world wars and suffered relative economic decline, which only began to be offset with the exploitation of North Sea Oil and Gas from the 1970s and the development of new technologies and service industries. This was mirrored by a growing sense of cultural and political distinctiveness which, towards the end of the century, culminated in the establishment of a separate Scottish Parliament within the confines of the United Kingdom.

Before the First World War 1901–13

In theKhaki Electionof 1900, nationalist concern with theBoer Warmeant that the Conservatives and their Liberal Unionist allies gained a majority of Scottish seats for the first time, although the Liberals regained their ascendancy in the next election. Various organisations, including the Independent Labour Party, joined to make the BritishLabour Partyin 1906, with Keir Hardie as its first chairman.^[98]The Unionists and Conservatives merged in 1912,^[2]usually known as the Conservatives in England and Wales, they adopted the nameUnionist Partyin Scotland.^[99]

The years before the First World War were the golden age of the inshore fisheries. Landings reached new heights, and Scottish catches dominated Europe's herring trade, accounting for a third of the British catch. High productivity came about thanks to the transition to more productive steam-powered boats, while the rest of Europe's fishing fleets were slower because they were still powered by sails.^[100]However, in general the Scottish economy stagnated leading to growing unemployment and political agitation among industrial workers.^[98]

First World War 1914–18

Scotland played a major role in the British effort in the First World War.^[101]It especially provided manpower, ships, machinery, food (particularly fish) and money.^[102]With a population of 4.8 million in 1911, Scotland sent 690,000 men to the war, of whom 74,000 died in combat or from disease, and 150,000 were seriously wounded.^[103]^[104]Thus, although Scots were only 10 per cent of the British population, they made up 15 per cent of the national armed forces and eventually accounted for 20 per cent of the dead.^[105]Concern for their families' standard of living made men hesitate to enlist; voluntary enlistment rates went up after the government guaranteed a weekly stipend for life to the survivors of men who were killed or disabled.^[106]Clydeside shipyards and the engineering shops of west-central Scotland became the most significant centre of shipbuilding and arms production in the Empire. In the Lowlands, particularly Glasgow, poor working and living conditions led to industrial and political unrest.^[105]After the end of the war in June 1919 the German fleet interned in Scapa Flow wasscuttledby its crews, to avoid its ships being taken over by the victorious allies.^[107]

Inter-war period 1919–38

After World War I the Liberal Party began to disintegrate. As the Liberals splintered Labour emerged to become the party of progressive politics in Scotland, gaining a solid following among working classes of the urban lowlands, and as a result the Unionists were able to gain most of the votes of the middle classes, who now fearedBolshevikrevolution, setting the social and geographical electoral pattern in Scotland that would last until the late 20th century.^[2]With all the main parties committed to the Union new nationalist and independent political groupings began to emerge, including theNational Party of Scotlandin 1928 andScottish Partyin 1930. They merged to form theScottish National Party(SNP) in 1934 with the goal of creating anindependent Scotland,but it enjoyed little electoral success in the Westminster system.^[108]

The interwar years were marked by economic stagnation in rural and urban areas, and high unemployment. Thoughtful Scots pondered their declension, as the main social indicators such as poor health, bad housing, and long-term mass unemployment, pointed to terminal social and economic stagnation at best, or even a downward spiral. The heavy dependence on obsolescent heavy industry and mining was a central problem, and no one offered workable solutions. The despair reflected what Finlay (1994) describes as a widespread sense of hopelessness that prepared local business and political leaders to accept a new orthodoxy of centralised government economic planning when it arrived during the Second World War.^[109]

The shipbuilding industry had expanded by a third during the war and had expected continued prosperity, but instead it shrank drastically. A serious depression hit the economy by 1922 and it did not fully recover until 1939.^[110]The most skilled craftsmen were especially hard hit, because there were few alternative uses for their specialised skills. The yards went into a long period of decline, interrupted only by the Second World War's temporary expansion.^[111]The war had seen the emergence of a radical movement led by militant trades unionists.John MacLeanbecame a key political figure in what became known asRed Clydeside,and in January 1919, the British Government, fearful of a revolutionary uprising, deployed tanks and soldiers in central Glasgow. Formerly a Liberal stronghold, the industrial districts switched to Labour by 1922, with a base in the Irish Catholic working class districts. Women were especially active in building neighbourhood solidarity on housing and rent issues. However, the "Reds" operated within the Labour Party and had little influence in Parliament; in the face of heavy unemployment the workers' mood changed to passive despair by the late 1920s.^[112]

Emigration of young people continued apace with 400,000 Scots, ten per cent of the population, estimated to have left the country between 1921 and 1931.^[113]The economic stagnation was only one factor; other push factors included a zest for travel and adventure, and the pull factors of better job opportunities abroad, personal networks to link into, and the basic cultural similarity of the United States, Canada, and Australia. Government subsidies for travel and relocation facilitated the decision to emigrate. Personal networks of family and friends who had gone ahead and wrote back, or sent money, prompted emigrants to follow.^[114]

Scottish renaissance

In the early 20th century there was a new surge of activity in Scottish literature and art, influenced bymodernismand resurgent nationalism, known as the Scottish Renaissance.^[115]The leading figure in the movement wasHugh MacDiarmid(the pseudonym of Christopher Murray Grieve). MacDiarmid attempted to revive the Scots language as a medium for serious literature in poetic works including "A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle"(1936), developing a form ofSynthetic Scotsthat combined different regional dialects and archaic terms.^[115]Other writers that emerged in this period, and are often treated as part of the movement, include the poetsEdwin MuirandWilliam Soutar,the novelistsNeil Gunn,George Blake,Nan Shepherd,A J Cronin,Naomi Mitchison,Eric LinklaterandLewis Grassic Gibbon,and the playwrightJames Bridie.All were born within a fifteen-year period (1887 and 1901) and, although they cannot be described as members of a single school they all pursued an exploration of identity, rejecting nostalgia and parochialism and engaging with social and political issues.^[115]

In art, the first significant group to emerge in the 20th century were theScottish Colouristsin the 1920s:John Duncan Fergusson(1874–1961),Francis Cadell(1883–1937),Samuel Peploe(1871–1935) andLeslie Hunter(1877–1931).^[116]Influenced by theFauvists,they have been described as the first Scottish modern artists and were the major mechanism by which post-impressionism reached Scotland.^[117]In the inter-war period, elements ofmodernismand the Scottish Renaissance, were incorporated into art by figures includingStanley Cursiter(1887–1976), who was influenced byFuturism,andWilliam Johnstone(1897–1981), whose work marked a move towardsabstraction.^[118]Johnstone also played a part in developing the concept of aScottish Renaissancewith poetHugh MacDiarmid,which attempted to introduce elements of modernism into Scottish cultural life and bring it into line with contemporary art elsewhere.^[119]James McIntosh Patrick(1907–98) andEdward Baird(1904–) were influenced by elements ofsurrealism.^[118]

Second World War 1939–45

The Second World War brought renewed prosperity, despite extensive bombing of cities by the Luftwaffe. It saw the invention of radar byRobert Watson-Watt,which was invaluable in theBattle of Britain,as was the leadership atRAF Fighter Commandof Air Chief MarshalHugh Dowding.^[120]

As in World War I,Scapa Flowin Orkney served as an importantRoyal Navybase. Attacks on Scapa Flow andRosythgave RAF fighters their first successes downing bombers in theFirth of ForthandEast Lothian.^[121]The shipyards and heavy engineering factories inGlasgowand Clydeside played a key part in the war effort, and suffered attacks from theLuftwaffe,enduring great destruction and loss of life.^[113]As transatlantic voyages involved negotiating north-west Britain, Scotland played a key part in the battle of the North Atlantic.^[122]Shetland's relative proximity to occupiedNorwayresulted in theShetland Busby which fishing boats helped Norwegians fled theNazis,and expeditions across theNorth Seato assist resistance.^[123]Perhaps Scotland's most unusual wartime episode occurred in 1941 whenRudolf Hessflew to Renfrewshire, possibly intending to broker a peace deal through theDuke of Hamilton.^[124]

Scottish industry came out of the depression slump by a dramatic expansion of its industrial activity, absorbing unemployed men and many women as well. The shipyards were the centre of more activity, but many smaller industries produced the machinery needed by the British bombers, tanks and warships.^[113]Agriculture prospered, as did all sectors except for coal mining, which was operating mines near exhaustion. Real wages, adjusted for inflation, rose 25 per cent, and unemployment temporarily vanished. Increased income, and the more equal distribution of food, obtained through a tight rationing system, dramatically improved the health and nutrition; the average height of 13-year-olds in Glasgow increased by 2 inches.^[125]

Prime MinisterWinston Churchillappointed Labour politicianTom JohnstonasSecretary of State for Scotlandin February 1941; he controlled Scottish affairs until the war ended. As Devine (1999) concludes, "Johnson was a giant figure in Scottish politics and is revered to this day as the greatest Scottish Secretary of the century... in essence, Johnson was promised the powers of a benign dictator".^[126]Johnston launched numerous initiatives to promote Scotland. Opposed to the excessive concentration of industry in the English Midlands, he attracted 700 businesses and 90,000 new jobs through his new Scottish Council of Industry. He set up 32 committees to deal with any number of social and economic problems, ranging from juvenile delinquency to sheep farming. He regulated rents, and set up a prototype national health service, using new hospitals set up in the expectation of large numbers of casualties from German bombing. His most successful venture was setting up a system of hydro electricity using water power in the Highlands.^[127]A long-standing supporter of theHome Rulemovement, Johnston persuaded Churchill of the need to counter the nationalist threat north of the border and created a Scottish Council of State and a Council of Industry as institutions todevolvesome power away fromWhitehall.^[128]

Postwar 1946–present

Postwar politics

In this period the Labour Party usually won most Scottish parliamentary seats, losing this dominance briefly to theUnionistsin the 1950s. Support in Scotland was critical to Labour's overall electoral fortunes as without Scottish MPs it would have gained only three UK electoral victories in the 20th century (1945, 1966 and 1997).^[129]The number of Scottish seats represented by Unionists (known asConservativesfrom 1965 onwards) went into steady decline from 1959 onwards, until it fell to zero in 1997.^[130]TheScottish National Partygained its first seat at Westminster in 1945 and became a party of national prominence during the 1970s, achieving 11 MPs in 1974.^[108]However, a referendum on devolution in 1979 was unsuccessful as it did not achieve the support of 40 per cent of the electorate (despite a small majority of those who voted supporting the proposal) and the SNP went into electoral decline during the 1980s.^[108]The introduction in 1989 by theThatcher-ledConservativegovernment of theCommunity Charge(widely known as the Poll Tax), one year before the rest of the United Kingdom, contributed to a growing movement for a return to direct Scottish control over domestic affairs.^[131]On 11 September 1997, the 700th anniversary ofBattle of Stirling Bridge,theBlair-ledLabourgovernment again held a referendum on the issue of devolution. A positive outcome led to the establishment of a devolvedScottish Parliamentin 1999.^[132]The newScottish Parliament Building,adjacent toHolyrood Housein Edinburgh, opened in 2004.^[133]The SNP won half of the Scottish vote with 50.0% in the 2015 UK General Election. Its best ever electoral result, eclipsing their previous 1970s peak in Westminster elections, the SNP also had success in the Scottish Parliamentary elections with their system ofmixed member proportional representation.It became the official opposition in 1999, a minority government in 2007, a majority government from 2011 and a second minority government in 2016.^[134]

Economics

After World War II, Scotland's economic situation became progressively worse due to overseas competition, inefficient industry, and industrial disputes.^[135]This only began to change in the 1970s, partly due to the discovery and development ofNorth Seaoil and gas and partly as Scotland moved towards a more service-based economy. The discovery of the giantForties oilfieldin October 1970 signalled that Scotland was about to become a major oil producing nation, a view confirmed when Shell Expro discovered the giantBrent oilfieldin the northern North Sea east of Shetland in 1971.^[136]Oil production started from the Argyll field (now Ardmore) in June 1975, followed by Forties in November of that year.^[137]Deindustrialisation took place rapidly in the 1970s and 1980s, as most of the traditional industries drastically shrank or were completely closed down. A new service-oriented economy emerged to replace traditional heavy industries.^[138]^[139]This included a resurgent financial services industry and theelectronics manufacturingofSilicon Glen.^[140]

Twentieth-century religion

In the 20th century existing Christian denominations were joined by other organisations, including theBrethrenandPentecostalchurches. Although some denominations thrived, after World War II there was a steady overall decline in church attendance and resulting church closures for most denominations.^[18]In the2011 census,53.8% of the Scottish population identified as Christian (declining from 65.1% in 2001). TheChurch of Scotlandis the largest religious grouping in Scotland, with 32.4% of the population. TheRoman Catholic Churchaccounted for 15.9% of the population and is especially important inWest Central Scotlandand theHighlands.In recent years other religions have established a presence in Scotland, mainly throughimmigrationand higher birth rates among ethnic minorities, with a small number ofconverts.Those with the most adherents in the 2011 census areIslam(1.4%, mainly among immigrants from South Asia),Hinduism(0.3%),Buddhism(0.2%) andSikhism(0.2%). Other minority faiths include theBahá'í Faithand smallNeopagangroups. There are also various organisations which actively promotehumanismandsecularism,included within the 43.6% who either indicated no religion or did not state a religion in the 2011 census.^[141]

Twentieth-century education

The Scottish education system underwent radical change and expansion in the 20th century. In 1918Roman Catholicschools were brought into the system, but retained their distinct religious character, access to schools by priests and the requirement that school staff be acceptable to the Church. The school leaving age was raised to 14 in 1901, and although plans to raise it to 15 in the 1940s were never ratified, increasing numbers stayed on beyond elementary education and it was eventually raised to 16 in 1973. As a result, secondary education was the major area of growth in the inter-war period, particularly for girls, who stayed on in full-time education in increasing numbers throughout the century. New qualifications were developed to cope with changing aspirations and economics, with the Leaving Certificate being replaced by theScottish Certificate of Education Ordinary Grade('O-Grade') andHigher Grade('Higher') qualifications in 1962, which became the basic entry qualification for university study. The centre of the education system also became more focused on Scotland, with theministry of educationpartly moving north in 1918 and then finally having its headquarters relocated to Edinburgh in 1939.^[70]After devolution, in 1999 the newScottish Executiveset up an Education Department and anEnterprise, Transport and Lifelong Learning Department,which together took over its functions.^[142]One of the major diversions from practice in England, possible because of devolution, was the abolition ofstudent tuition feesin 1999, instead retaining a system of means-tested student grants.^[143]

New literature

Some writers that emerged after the Second World War followed MacDiarmid by writing in Scots, includingRobert GariochandSydney Goodsir Smith.Others demonstrated a greater interest in English language poetry, among themNorman MacCaig,George Bruce andMaurice Lindsay.^[115]^[144]George Mackay Brownfrom Orkney, andIain Crichton Smithfrom Lewis, wrote both poetry and prose fiction shaped by their distinctive island backgrounds.^[115]The Glaswegian poetEdwin Morganbecame known for translations of works from a wide range of European languages. He was also the firstScots Makar(the officialnational poet), appointed by the inaugural Scottish government in 2004.^[145]Many major Scottish post-war novelists, such asMuriel Spark,James Kennaway,Alexander Trocchi,Jessie KessonandRobin Jenkinsspent much or most of their lives outside Scotland, but often dealt with Scottish themes, as in Spark's Edinburgh-setThe Prime of Miss Jean Brodie(1961)^[115]and Kennaway's script for the filmTunes of Glory(1956).^[146]Successful mass-market works included the action novels ofAlistair MacLean,and the historical fiction ofDorothy Dunnett.^[115]A younger generation of novelists that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s includedShena Mackay,Alan Spence,Allan Massieand the work ofWilliam McIlvanney.^[115]

From the 1980s Scottish literature enjoyed another major revival, particularly associated with a group of Glasgow writers focused around meetings in the house of critic, poet and teacherPhilip Hobsbaum.Also important in the movement wasPeter Kravitz,editor ofPolygon Books.Members of the group that would come to prominence as writers includedJames Kelman,Alasdair Gray,Liz Lochhead,Tom LeonardandAonghas MacNeacail.^[115]In the 1990s major, prize-winning, Scottish novels that emerged from this movement includedIrvine Welsh'sTrainspotting(1993), Warner'sMorvern Callar(1995), Gray'sPoor Things(1992) and Kelman'sHow Late It Was, How Late(1994).^[115]These works were linked by a sometimes overtly political reaction toThatcherismthat explored marginal areas of experience and used vivid vernacular language (including expletives and Scots dialect). Scottish crime fiction has been a major area of growth with the success of novelists includingVal McDermid,Frederic Lindsay,Christopher Brookmyre,Quintin Jardine,Denise Minaand particularly the success of Edinburgh'sIan Rankinand hisInspector Rebusnovels.^[115]This period also saw the emergence of a new generation of Scottish poets that became leading figures on the UK stage, includingDon Paterson,Robert Crawford,Kathleen JamieandCarol Ann Duffy.^[115]Glasgow-born Carol Ann Duffy was named asPoet Laureatein May 2009, the first woman, the first Scot and the first openly gay poet to take the post.^[147]

Modern art

Important post-war artists includedAnne Redpath(1895–1965), most famous for her two dimensional depictions of everyday objects,^[148]Alan Davie(1920–), influenced by jazz andZen Buddhism,who moved further intoabstract expressionism^[118]and sculptor and artistEduardo Paolozzi(1924–2005), who was a pioneer ofpop artand in a varied career produced many works that examined juxtapositions between fantasy and the modern world.^[148]John Bellany(1942–), mainly focusing on the coastal communities of his birth and Alexander Moffat (1943–), who concentrated on portraiture, both grouped under the description of "Scottish realism", were among the leading Scottish intellectuals from the 1960s.^[149]The artists associated with Moffat and theGlasgow School of Artare sometimes known as the "new Glasgow Boys", or "Glasgow pups"^[150]and includeSteven Campbell(1953–2007),Peter Howson(1958–),Ken Currie(1960–) and Adrian Wisniewski (1958–). Their figurative work has a comic book like quality and puts an emphasis on social commentary.^[151]Since the 1990s, the most commercially successful artist has beenJack Vettriano,whose work usually consists of figure composition, with his most famous paintingThe Singing Butler(1992), often cited as the best selling print in Britain. However, he has received little acclaim from critics.^[152]Contemporary artists emerging from the Glasgow includeDouglas Gordon(1966–), working in the medium ofinstallation art,^[153]Susan Philipszwho works in sound installations,Richard Wright,noted for his intricate wall paintings^[154]andLucy McKenzie(1977–), whose painting is often sexually explicit.^[155]
