The Nation Talks to Scottish Historian Jenny Eeles - History ,Literature Treaty of Union

Host John Drummond chats with historian and author Jenny Eales, whose Random Scottish History website contains an accessible collection of pre 1900 Scottish Literature, History, Art and Folklore , including newspaper articles from the time of the Treaty of Union.  Some fascinating comparisons between the discourse of the day and present day debate. 

Who would have thought that, in highlighting the democratic deficit inherent in the UK Union, today's Independence campaigners are using same the arguments as the 18th century Unionists!
