	Red Clydeside: Scottish miners' march to Edinburgh [programme] / National Unemployed Workers Movement, 1928
		The Scottish NUWM conference of 1928 concluded that the Welsh miners' march of the previous year had been a success in terms of highlighting the prevailing economic situation and the high levels of unemployment throughout British coal communities.
		Based on this, the Scottish branches of the NUWM decided to hold a similar march of Scottish miners, to Edinburgh, to meet the Scottish Board of Health and to demand full relief for the large number of unemployed miners in Scotland.
		The 1928 Scottish miners' march won the NUWM important gains in Scotland in terms of recognition and dealt a blow to the perceived wisdom of the Scottish parish councils that the unemployed had no rights and could expect only charity.

		Central Scottish Omnibuses Ltd was a bus operating subsidiary of the Scottish Transport Group formed in June 1985 from Central SMT Company Ltd, and operated until July 1989 when it was merged with Kelvin Scottish to form Kelvin Central Buses.
		From its head office in Traction House, Motherwell, Central Scottish had an operating area covering the whole of Lanarkshire, bounded by Glasgow to the west, Airdrie to the north, Strathaven to the south and Shotts to the east.
		The Central Scottish identity was buried with the strike action, and the company was renamed Kelvin Central Buses Ltd in preparation for the merger.

	The one weakness of the outstanding Scottish Marxist John Maclean (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		John Maclean was a prominent Scottish Marxist who played an outstanding role in promoting the ideas and cause of Marxism before and after the Bolshevik revolution.
		Unfortunately it is precisely John Maclean's errors that were used to justify the turn towards Scottish nationalism, albeit hidden behind socialist rhetoric, on the part of some of the supporters of the Militant newspaper back in the early 1990s.
		The main criticism we would make of the leaders of the Scottish Socialist Party leaders is that they have succumbed to the pressures of Scottish nationalism and with it to left reformism.

		When Scottish women formed their own ethnic organization, the Daughters of Scotia, in 1898, they reflected the same concerns that animated the national Daughters of the American Revolution (formed in 1890) and the regional United Daughters of the Confederacy (formed in 1894).
		On the Scottish side, the foremost scholar was Professor George Shepperson of the University of Edinburgh.

	Glasgow Labour, Scotland - Brian Deer investigates 3
		Not only is Labour's dominance absolute throughout the region (the party won all of Glasgow's 10 parliamentary seats last May with majorities averaging 13,000 and made a clean sweep of the dozen in the surrounding conurbation) but everywhere you look you see the same tribal faction fights and parallels in the sleaze allegations.
		And though today the great shipyards, steelworks, mills and factories which once dominated Clydeside are long gone (with not even a book of memories in the Sauchiehall Street Waterstones) there are few who doubt that the footprints of heavy industry are left deeply embedded in the landscape.
		One reason for sustained capital investment on Clydeside was that, for all the formidable organisation of the workforce, it remained timelessly divided against itself.

	Scottish Republican Socialist John MacLean - Life and Works
		Delegates were sought from every shop across Clydeside and a Manifesto was drawn up, "To organise the workers upon a class basis and to maintain the class struggle until the overthrow of the wages system, the freedom of the workers and industrial democracy have been attained".
		Scottish separation is part of the process of England's Imperial disintegration and is a help towards the ultimate triumph of the workers of the world.
		If Scottish workers can show the way to liberation to their class sisters and brothers across the Irish Sea, they will not only move towards their own liberation, but will provide a service to the revolutionary movement in Ireland beyond estimation.

		The courage and devotion to duty displayed by members of Fire Service in Scotland was in no way less than that shown by their English colleagues during the more persistent and frequent raids on ports and industrial areas over the Border.

		Rents had risen by an average of between 11-23% since the war began, and were exacerbating the already high cost of living.[5] These strikes are often regarded as the beginning of militancy on Clydeside, and although they resulted in the government capping rent levels for the duration, many retaliated by neglecting basic maintenance.
		It can be said that the relative failure of this ploy suggests that the vast majority of their membership did not share this view.[14] Craft/job dilution proved to be the main source of discontent during the war, meeting stubborn resistance from craftsmen who saw it as a threat to their way of life.
		Whereas the Liberals had previously been seen as the party of reform, they were now perceived by the working-classes as being in the pockets of middle-class businessmen.[21] Much of the Scottish population depended on shipbuilding, heavy engineering and mining for employment, and with the end of the war came the old uncertainties over markets.

	Western Scottish - Dennis Dominators - Photos
		The five C-registered examples, numbered 155 to 159 in the Clydeside fleet, were spirited away and had their bus seats replaced by dual-purpose seats.
		The reason for this was that Clydeside had involvement in the busy Scottish Citylink service 500 between Glasgow Airport and Edinburgh via Glasgow, and needed extra capacity for this service.
		Clydeside bought four Dominators, registered TYS 256 to 259W, a quartet of Rolls Royce-engined Dominators which had had a very brief sojourn at Livingston depot with Eastern before heading down the M8 to Inchinnan.

	John Maclean, Clydeside Socialist 1879-1923: - James D Young (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Despite Maclean's extraordinary and continuing influence on Scottish poets and novelists from the so-called "Great War" until the 1990s, the question of his "sanity" was not publicly alluded to until Dora Montefiore's autobiographical volume From a Victorian to a Modern was published in l927.
		Just as both the Irish and Scottish TUCs were born in the late 19th century out of national frustrations over the English chauvinism of the British Trades Union Congress, so Irish and Scottish socialists felt that they were being held back by the crushing weight of a pro-imperialist and "very English [Parliamentary] socialism".
		Certainly, Scottish Socialist Republicanism was marginalised by MacLean's death; and, while the Left's distincitive traditions of syndicalism and anti-imperialism probably inhibited the growth of the CPGB in cities like Glasgow, Scottish exceptionalism manifested itself again and again.

		Such interpretation is not restricted to civil servants who work for the Scottish Executive or, for that matter, for the UK Government.

		The people, organisations and events of this period in Glasgow’s history helped to establish the city’s reputation as the centre of working-class struggle in Britain at the time, and helped to create a legacy which is still reflected in the political and social culture of the city.
		Funding for creation of the Red Clydeside collection was obtained from SCRAN (Scottish Cultural Resources Access Network) and the Resources for Learning in Scotland consortium.
