The dinners held in E dinburgh and G lasgow between 1801 and 1825 celebrating the birthday of C harles J ames F ox were vital in providing the S cottish W hig party with a social and organizational framework within which it could develop and expand as a party while at the same time manufacturing a public image. The role of political dinners in England has been shown to be an integral element of the formation of party networks and the development and promulgation of party ideologies. This was also true in S cotland and the W higs in E dinburgh and G lasgow capitalized on these events as platforms from which to incorporate their own regionally specific Scottish Whig identities into the evolving ‘ B ritish’ Whig identity. Newspapers published lists of attendees and reported toasts in very deliberate language in an effort to convey a particular message or, at times, to leave a message ambiguous in order to gather a wider scope of support for the Whig cause. Attendance at the dinners or raising one's glass to a particular toast could be a way of symbolically identifying with the Whig party. Although the dinners had fallen out of fashion by 1826, they had given the S cottish Whigs a social and organizational structure which allowed them to continue to expand well into the middle of the nineteenth century
