Synopsis

An in-depth look at how Scottish leaders navigated the move toward political union with England. It reveals the tactics, loyalties, and doubts that shaped the treaty's fate.

This Ford Lectures volume analyzes the two main streams of correspondence and the government’s efforts to steer the Union process. It centers on the leaders and decisions that determined whether Scotland would join England in a single political union.

- Learn how factions and key figures like Baillie, Roxburgh, Johnstone, Queensberry, Argyle, and Mar shaped the negotiation.
- See how the selection of Commissioners and the balance of supporters and opponents influenced the Estates.
- Understand the strategic tensions between pursuing succession, trade, and union, and how ministers weighed rewards and risks.
- Grasp the wider political and constitutional context that framed these debates in early 18th-century Scotland.

Ideal for readers of Scottish history and constitutional politics, and for anyone interested in how diplomacy, power, and policy intersect in momentous statecraft.
