Reviews

"The book is an obvious good starting point for anyone seeking to understand the historical background to debates on the party political dimension of the Scottish Question. It provides an important corrective to much ill-informed and over-heated rhetoric of debates today. And it is very well written.--James Mitchell, University of Edinburgh ""Journal of Scottish Historical Studies"" Standing up for Scotland is a thoughtful study of Scottish unionism since the late nineteenth century [...] Torrance has made a timely and relevant contribution to the literature of both Scottish unionism and nationalism. It is to be hoped that his recognition of the intertwining of these two ideologies is taken up in future work.--Daniel Leaver, University of St Andrews ""Scottish Historical Review"""
