Episode Synopsis

In light of the announcement of a new independence referendum in Scotland, this episode of Golau features a fascinating lecture from Prof. Sir Tom Devine of Edinburgh University. Recorded at the Pierhead in Cardiff Bay in late 2016, he considers the reasons for SNP’s success and the collapse of Labour in Scotland from a historian’s point of view.
He concludes with some thoughts on the Scottish question after Brexit and what the future might hold for a restless nation.
