A History Of Scotland - S02E05 - Project Scotland - Part 5/6

BBC Scotland Documentary - As a partner in the British Empire, Scotland began the 20th century with an advanced economy and a world-beating heavy industry. But in the closing decades its sense of Britishness was in doubt and a Scottish Parliament sat in Edinburgh for the first time since 1707. Charting Scotland's darkest century, Neil Oliver discovers a country driven to self-determination through a series of economic crises so deep that her most striking export became her own disillusioned population.

@lor3nz01985 Are you suggesting I edited this? It skips due to an upload problem. I can't say I appreciate your assumption.

@mesmiths Yes, its interesting to think what might have been. Sad that such a strong and proud nation faced such a terrible century.

If the yes victory had not been denied by clauses in the parliamentary bill the country would be in a much better state today. A depressing episode.

@lor3nz01985 I think you'll find that after WW1, the standard of living in the rest of Britain got better, whereas in Scotland things either got worse, or only improved slightly. Because nutrition was poor, the infant mortality rate in Scotland was the third highest in Europe.
