		Treaty of Union courtesy of the Scottish Parliament
		The reasons for the Union of the Parliaments (which was vastly unpopular with the ordinary Scottish people even though most of them at that time did not have the vote) were complex and varied.
		But on January 16, 1707, the Treaty of Union was passed by 110 votes to 67 (with more than a suspicion that some of the poorer Members of Parliament had been bribed - though this was nothing new for those days).

		It was a long time after the Union before the question was finally resolved, however, and not until, as so often in Scottish history, there had been a good deal of bloodshed.
		Scotland was an independent country until 1707 when the English parliament, using a mixture of quite open flmail and less open bribery, persuaded a powerful group of Scottish aristocrats to vote for the union of the English and Scottish parliaments.
		This did not suit the English for, although the union was to be portrayed as a merger, they regarded it as a takeover.

		The Treaty of Union provided that, in the Union of the countries of Scotland and England, what had previously been Scottish territory would retain, in perpetuity, its own distinct and separate Legal System, a system which was fully codified by James Dalrymple (the Viscount Stair) in his 17th century tome on the subject.
		In the year 1707, the North American part of Nova Scotia was still nominally controlled by France, but that country was not doing so well in European wars of the time and eventually, in 1713, was compelled to relinquish control of the mainland parts of Nova Scotia.
		Its use in Nova Scotia was unquestionably contrary to the provisions of the 1707 Treaty of Union.

	ART AND CULTURE IN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY SCOTLAND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		It is also a fact, however, that it is in the eighteenth century, after the Treaty of Union of 1707 that a particular awareness of the values of a unique Scottish culture emerges.
		The sense of a "Scottish" consciousness that is very precise and articulate at this time is of great interest and importance in itself, but also because it established a vital tradition in Scotland that has nourished many of this country's greatest artists.
		The qualities of this "counter-culture" that asserts old values in the face of Union prosperity and fashionable European classicism can be seen as a "unified cultural sensibility", a phrase first used by T.S. Eliot, referring to the world of the metaphysical poets in Elizabethan England.

		By the Treaty, part of the capital sum of the Equivalents was to be used - in fact more than half was required - to recoup the shareholders of a Scottish company which had been deliberately ruined in the interests of English commerce.
		In this case, of the £20,000 secretly sent from England, far the greater part was already due to Queensberry and other officers in respect of unpaid salaries and allowances, and £1,000 went to Atholl who was, and who remained, a vigorous opponent of the government.

	Ancient Lothian - Steve Sweeney-Turner, "Reading Scottish Classical Music"
		However, the over-riding key event of the histories which Cairns Craig refers to, and by which all the other events in Scottish history tend to be measured, is indubitably the loss of the Scottish parliament at the Treaty of Union in 1707.
		Yet each of these rival historiographies also view the Treaty of Union as the teleological inevitability of both the Reformation and the Union of the Crowns - both 1560 and 1603 lead ineluctably to their conclusion in 1707.
		Further, as what Craig refers to as a 'punctuating break', the 1707 Treaty of Union has been imaged as the key moment of transition from one culture in Scotland to another.
