The Afterlife of Patrick Sellar and the History of the Highland Clearances
This article concerns the continuing controversies around the actions and reputation of the sheep farmer and factor Patrick Sellar. His involvement in the Sutherland clearances and his trial and acquittal in the High Court ensured his contemporary reputation as one of the most loathed figures in the highlands. The article examines the way in which this reputation has been sustained in the period since his death in 1851 and emphasizes the role of …
The Bulletin , ‘Londonisation’ and Scottish Politics in the 1940s and 1950s
This article seeks to examine Scottish politics in the decade or so following the Second World War. The objective is to uncover the texture of Scottish politics in a period that has been characterised rather simplistically. Much of the evidence for the paper is drawn from the Scottish popular press, most notably newspapers such as the Bulletin, which was a Glasgow publication with a unionist outlook, motivated by a concern to keep Scottish issues…
A climate of fear? The Scottish universities and the question of devolution, 1974-9
This article seeks to examine the debate in the Scottish universities during the 1974-9 period, when the Labour government proposed to create a devolved Scottish Assembly. An anti-devolution consensus among university leaders is analysed and the arguments for and against devolution are considered. The article discusses the way in which the perceived result of devolution would be 'parochialism', while the advantages of the status quo were seen as …

Freshness, Freedom, and Peace: Land Settlement in Scotland after the Great War
This article will attempt to look at the wider context of 1919 and its meaning in historical chronology. The 1919 Land Settlement Act was an uncontroversial intervention in this important year but was embedded in the deeper history of the Highland land question, rather than the immediate moment of 1919, which was dominated by other concerns. The article will suggest that viewing 1919 as an end point is misleading, in both the history of the land …

The 1918 Reform Act, Redistribution and Scottish Politics
This essay examines the effect of the 1918 Representation of the People Act on Scottish politics. It notes the extensive addition to the electorate with the enfranchisement of adult males and most women over the age of 30 years. The main focus of the essay is on the effect of the provisions of the act in terms of the redistribution of seats in Scotland. Although the overall level of Scottish representation increased from 70 to 71 seats, there was…

The Political Histories of Modern Scotland
The referendum on Scottish independence to be held in September 2014 presents the electors with a choice between two apparent absolutes: 'independence' and the 'status quo'.In reality, however, the matter is not so simple.Neither of these options is on offer in quite the way that their advocates suggest.Indeed, both campaigns are engaged in efforts to convince the voters that their opponents' case is much more extreme than it actually is (Hassan …

Conservatism and Radicalism in the Highland Press: The Strange Cases of the Highlander and the Northern Chronicle
This article considers the linkages between two newspapers published in Inverness in the late Victorian period. At first glance, the Highlander edited by John Murdoch from its beginning in May 1873 until its demise as a weekly newspaper in late 1881 — and the Northern Chronicle edited by Duncan Campbell from its first issue in January 1881 have little in common. The Highlander was a radical newspaper designed to propagate Murdoch's unorthodox vie…

Glasgow's going round and round: Some recent Scottish urban history
If a rural historian who has few credentials to undertake the current review may begin this essay with a point from his own field of research: there is a view of Scottish rural history which argues that far too much attention has been paid to the Highlands. A similar view could be advanced about concentration on Glasgow in Scottish urban history; in addition to the volumes under consideration have been numerous other recent titles. As Professor M…

The Scottish Highlands as a Special Policy Area, 1886 to 1965
This paper has two objectives. The first is to explore the creation of a Highland policy area in the 1880s. Emphasis will be placed on the use of historical arguments by the government in the course of the construction of the Crofters Holdings (Scotland) Act of 1886, especially in the attempt to justify confining the operation of that statute to the Highlands. The second theme, explored in the latter parts of the paper, concerns the strategies wh…
