Although Scotland was absorbed into Britain in 1707 with the Treaty of Union, Scottish identity is supposed to have remained alive in the new state through separate institutions of religion (the Church of Scotland), education, and the legal system. Neil Davidson argues otherwise. The Scottish nation did not exist before 1707. The Scottish national consciousness we know today was not preserved by institutions carried over from the pre-Union period, but arose after and as a result of the Union, for only then were the material obstacles to nationhood - most importantly the Highland/Lowland divide - overcome. This Scottish nation was constructed simultaneously with and as part of the British nation, and the eighteenth century Scottish bourgeoisie were at the forefront of constructing both. The majority of Scots entered the Industrial Revolution with a dual national consciousness, but only one nationalism, which was British. The Scottish nationalism which arose in Scotland during the twentieth century is therefore not a revival of a pre-Union nationalism after 300 years, but an entirely new formation. Davidson provides a revisionist history of the origins of Scottish and British national consciousness that sheds light on many of the contemporary debates about nationalism. 606 $aNational characteristics, Scottish$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aNationalism$zScotland$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aScotland$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aScotland$xHistory$yUnion, 1707 615 0$aNational characteristics, Scottish$xHistory 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 676 $a941.107 700 $aDavidson$b Neil$f1957-2020.$01474316 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782087403321 996 $aThe origins of Scottish nationhood$93800959 997 $aUNINA
