Abstract

Scotland is different. It has its own legal, educational and religious bodies. The Church of Scotland is democratic in ways that the Church of England is not. Scotland had 4 universities when England had only 2, and Scotland still has some of the strongest universities in the UK. Its legal system is in many ways more advanced than England’s — for example in requiring that anyone arrested and held must be brought to trial within 110 days or freed. Its banks operate throughout the world. Politically it differs from England, as in the 1987 General Election when it returned 50 Labour MPs, 10 Conservatives, 9 Alliance members and 3 from the Scottish National Party (SNP).
