	The Scottish Unionist Party
		The "Scottish Unionist Party", or "Unionist Party" as it was known within Scotland, was the main Tory or Conservative organisation in Scotland between 1912 and 1965.
		Whilst the party may have been linked on a Parliamentary level with the Conservative and Unionist Party in England and Wales, it was conscious that it had to appeal to the middle class liberal tradition in Scotland and studiously avoided using the term "Conservative".
		This was at odds with the past Scottish Unionist position of "service to others and to the community" and was graphically illustrated by the cool reception she received at the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland when she made her "Sermon on the Mound".

	Taki’s Magazine, edited by Taki Theodoracopulos
		The Scottish Conservative party is an inherently flawed vehicle for the advancement of conservatism in Scotland.
		The second option is for the party simply to be dissolved and for unionist conservatives to join their nationalist conservative confrères in the Scottish Nationalist Party to form a united bloc of sensible people in the party.
		Unionist conservatives ought to oppose all three and nationalist conservatives should at least join in opposing further centralization and the abolition of the Crown, both of which would result in removing any checks on the power of Britain’s political class.

	Unionist Party (Scotland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Unionist Party, referred to as the Scottish Unionist Party outwith Scotland itself, was the main Tory organisation in Scotland between 1912 and 1965.
		The origins of the Scottish Unionist Party lay in the split of the Liberal Party in 1886 and the emergence of the Liberal Unionists.
		Whilst the party may have been linked on a Parliamentary level with the Conservative and Unionist Party in England and Wales, it was conscious that it had to appeal to the middle class liberal tradition in Scotland and studiously avoided using the term "Conservative".

	BBC News \| Politics \| Scottish Tories ring the changes
		Scottish Conservatives have unveiled a radical restructuring plan in a bid to revive their party's fortunes after disastrous losses in the May General Election.
		The official name of the party in Scotland is the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party but it seems the word "Conservative" is alienating the voters.
		But the chairman of the party in Scotland will still be appointed by the leader of the UK party, with the approval of the Scottish executive.

	Scottish Unionist Party (modern) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The SUP is an ideologically Scottish Unionist party which opposes the idea of Scottish independence from the rest of the United Kingdom.
		The SUP campaigns against what it believes are anti-Protestant government policies and opposed moves to try and change the Act of Settlement 1701 which disallows the British monarch from marrying a Catholic.
		The party is strongly critical of mainstream parties for what it views as a failure to safeguard the Act of Union 1707; this criticism extends even to the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party, who they believe are not being 'unionist' enough.

	Manifesto 2003 - Scottish Conservative & Unionist Party (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Scottish Conservatives believe that a neighbourly society, built on strong and supportive relationships within families, between neighbours and throughout the wider community, is ultimately our best defence against crime.
		Scottish Conservatives will reduce crime and the fear of crime through effective neighbourhood policing, tougher sentencing for some crimes, honesty in sentencing for all crimes and sanctions which protect the public and reduce re-offending.
		Scottish Conservatives will give clear and unequivocal support to a zero tolerance approach to crime because much crime is of an opportunistic nature.

	The Scotsman - Opinion - Letters - Unionist label strikes a note of discord with Scottish voters
		As a retired Scottish Conservative MSP, I have the highest regard for David McLetchie, but he possibly does not realise the passions that are aroused in some parts of the west of Scotland, and in particular Glasgow, where sections of the population associate the term unionist with Ulster unionism (your report, 9 May).
		In fact, from early in the 20th century until the mid-1960s, Scottish Tories campaigned at general elections under the title of the "Scottish Unionist Party", or the "Unionist Party", as a means of consolidating their traditional Orange working-class support, especially in the west of Scotland.
		It would now appear that elements in the party are at long last beginning to recognise that the word "Unionist" in the title acts as a disincentive to voting Tory north of the Border.

	The Scottish Unionist Party - Home
		The Scottish Unionist Party is the only mainstream party, which stands unashamedly and resolutely for the Union.
		The Scottish Unionist Party places a high priority on Scottish education with a focus on higher standards for both teachers and students; free nursery education for all; and an end to the diverse and expensive system of religious apartheid in education with the establishment of fully integrated, multi-denominational schools providing education for mutual understanding.
		The Scottish Executive targeted sectarianism as Scotland’s secret shame and yet by continuing to support segregated schooling they are failing to act against one of the main causes of this social ill.

	Scottish Tory party united in opposition to devolution
		SCOTTISH Tories voted overwhelmingly in Perth yesterday to maintain their opposition to devolution, over-ruling an impassioned plea for a change of heart.
		However, the party agreed to contest the elections for a new parliament if it was established and gave those Tories who do wish to support devolution the freedom to campaign for it.
		In the first conference of the Scottish Conservatives since the party was wiped out at the general election, there were calls to reverse the stance against a Scottish parliament.

	ConservativeHome's ToryDiary: Plan for Scottish Tories to become independent
		With its own distinct identity the Scottish Unionist Party (the name of the party until 1965 and a possible name for the 'new party') could be a leading advocate of The Union and would be more likely to be seen to be motivated by an unambiguous commitment to Scotland's interests rather than those of England.
		As for the leader of the confederal Parties we seemed to manage to elect a Scottish Unionist leader in 1963 to the leadership of the C&U party so can't see why they would be excluded for selecting the UK leader or indeed UK parliament MPs standing for leader.
		There is no reason why Conservative and Unionist parties throught the countries of the Union cannot cooperate on Union matters in the British parliament whilst being free to grapple with the internal politics of their own countries at home.

	Political Party in Scotland, Labour in Scotland.
		Fishing Party Largely a single-issue party, their formation was prompted by those involved in the fishing industry angry at cuts in the amount of fish they were being allowed to catch as a result of the European Union Single Fisheries Policy.
		The Unionist Party, referred to as the Scottish Unionist Party outside Scotland itself, was the main Tory political party in Scotland between 1912 and 1965.
		Use of the terms 'Tory', and 'Unionist', as opposed to 'Conservative', is a consequence of the Scottish Unionists eschewing the name 'Conservative', until 1965.

	The G-Gnome Rides Out: An Open Letter to Brian Monteith MSP
		Your resignation from the Scottish Conservative & Unionist Party, which may have been aimed at averting your expulsion for breaching party discipline, is already old news.
		The reality of your position is that you are only a Member of the Scottish Parliament because of your previous connection with the Conservative Party.
		You are a creature of your former party; and having severed your connection with that institution, it is only correct that you sever your connection with the body to which your party sent you as a delegate.

	IngentaConnect Baldwin and Scotland: More than Englishness
		Baldwin was aware that his party needed to present itself as both the natural party of England and as the natural party of Scotland if it was to survive.
		Although generally considered to be the archetypal Englishman, Baldwin cleverly re-created himself for the Scottish political constituency, a self-portrayal which allowed him to be accepted by Scottish audiences as one of their own.
		He successfully followed a line of appeal that contended that Unionist values were inherently part of the historical and cultural inheritance of Scotland; if Scots wanted to retain and develop their distinct national identity, Baldwin argued that Unionism was their only possible form of political expression.
