	Features - The Nature of Scottish Nationalism
		The first is a strong belief in what we now call the right of self-determination, a conviction that the history and the distinctive character, of the Scots gives them a right and a need to run their own affairs, of which they were deprived by the Union and which they should recover.
		I think that the remarks by Janet Adam Smith, which I have quoted, amount to a good definition of Scottish nationalism as it was expressed by these 18th century poets and as it has remained.
		It is a belief in the value of the Scottish approach to life and a conviction that it can only be adequately expressed and developed through self-government, towards which the present constitutional arrangements are a decisive step.

	English Civic Nationalism - Gareth Young (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Although, from an ethical standpoint, civic nationalism is preferable to ethnic nationalism (in multicultural states at least) the Los Angeles and Paris riots show that neither ideology is without its faults.
		Scottish nationalism was, and still is, a hybrid of civic and ethnic nationalism, but the path to independence - temporarily stalled by devolution - was driven mostly by ethnic nationalism and a deep-rooted pathological hatred of the English.
		The United Kingdom was a nationality not a nation, one that had taught 'its citizens at one and the same time to glory both in the name of Scotsmen or Welshmen or Englishmen and in the name of Britons.' (Barker 1928: 17).

	Scotland - Socialism or Nationalism? - A Marxist Analysis by Ted Grant
		This "radical" face of nationalism arose out of the victory of the Salmond/Sillars wing of the SNP in the early 1980s whose strategy was to abandon the "Tartan Tory" image, and tackle head on Labour in its heartlands.
		The growth of Scottish nationalism over the past few years was born out of a frustration with the role of the Labour leaders, whose actions have added grist to the mill of the nationalists.
		The factors that gave a recent boost to nationalism was the defeat of the Tories in the Kincardine and Deeside by-election, which reduced their MPs to single figures, as well as the early closure of the Ravenscraig steelworks.

		This is not to denigrate the sterling efforts of the Scottish comrades and the undoubted standing and respect which many comrades have on the housing schemes, etc, but merely to face up to the real situation, and to understand the reasons for it.

	Irish Immigration and the Construction of Scottish Identity
		Despite the fact that the National Party tended not to attract Catholic voters, there was a determination on behalf of the nationalist to retain an appeal across a broad range of Scottish society (Finlay 1994a, 79) a policy which would have prohibited a deliberate manipulation of sectarian feeling to its electoral advantage.
		For instance Kevin McDowall, who had led the breakaway from the Cathcart Unionists to form the Scottish Party, was to accuse the SNP of being 'separatists and Sinn Fein supporters,' because they did not share his vision of what their policy should be concerning the fate of the British Empire (Finlay 1992, 201).
		In the respect of his political influences, it is worth noting also that the Scottish policy of John MacLean, whom MacDiarmid had greatly admired since 1913, was determined by the presence of large numbers of Irish in Scotland and their reactions to Black and Tan atrocities in Ireland (Milton 1978, 18).

	Siol nan Gaidheal - A Review of the Two Forms of Nationalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		However, a recent correspondent to one of the Scottish dailies cited a dualistic view of the concept of nationalism - that there are two distinct types, which cannot co-exist, and in fact may be said to be mutually exclusive.
		Micro-nationalism is the natural expression of the desire of small nation states to retain their unique identity, nationality and culture, whilst at the same time remaining active participants in the wider world, often expressed in a struggle to break away from a larger composite state.
		Her nationalism is a benign one, based on social democratic values rather than national chauvinism and racial superiority.

	Scottish Devolution: A Historical and Political Analysis
		"Nationalism is a doctrine which holds that the boundaries of a state should coincide with those of the nation."<2> Although Scottish devolution is an attempt by the UK Parliament in Westminster to fend off a history of nationalist sentiment, it may eventually lead towards an independent Scottish nation-state.
		The Scottish Secretary of State’s duty is to work with the Scottish Executive and the UK Government to ensure that Scottish interests are represented within the UK Government.
		As Archie Brown theorized in his article, Asymmetrical Devolution: the Scottish Case, "membership in the European Union means that a break with England would not be absolute."<16> With Scotland’s striving economy and claims to the North Sea oil, the EU may be the larger entity needed to replace the UK and give Scotland stability.

		Lenin’s advice on national questions in general is well known, as is his view that Irish nationalism was to be supported.
		The major political conflict is described throughout as that between the "Reds" and the "Pinks" and his quarrel with the CPGB continues to be, not that it is English, but that it is unprincipled and that it is "playing it very dirty".
		His most often repeated justification for his position on Scottish independence was that it would be a blow at the heart of British Imperialism which he, together with the Third International, regarded as the main obstacle to that very world revolution.

	Ted Grant — Scotland — Socialism or Nationalism?
		Linked to the genuine desires of oppressed nationalities for emancipation, the national question — far from being solved — has become exacerbated under the crisis of both capitalism and Stalinism.
		This would be a clear setback for the workers, unless it was linked to a national framework, otherwise it would allow the employers to play off one section of workers against another — to the disadvantage of all workers, Scottish, Welsh, English or whatever.
		Their "Scottish turn" is seen as a solution to this problem — that they cast off this albatross around their necks.
