Before WW2, the Labour Party held 'Home Rule for Scotland' as one of their fundamental principles. However following the end of the war and the unionism it engendered, notions of Scottish independence slipped down the political agenda until unionism edged it out completely.  Formed in 1934 from a union of the National Party of Scotland and the Scottish Party, the Scottish National Party began to demand a Scottish Parliament but until the 1960s the movement for Scottish independence achieved little success and was sustained only by symbolic victories, such as the repatriation in 1950 of the Stone of Destiny from Westminster Abbey. But as the century progressed, the aspiration of independence was on the rise in Scotland. This book chronicles the rise of the Scottish Independence movement from the end of WW2 to the turn of the century. It is a fact based novel that also attempts to typify the interventions of the British Security Services in frustrating that goal.
