Scottish History Pack S3 - Union and Rebellion
The abdication of Mary Queen of Scots (1567) and the long minority of her son James VI removed Scotland temporarily from the mainstream of British History. Internal troubles arising from the regency and court life of James VI are included in the sheets on Edinburgh Castle and Linlithgow Palace.
The failure of Elizabeth I to produce an heir led to the Union of the Crowns (1603) and the removal of the Scottish court to London. The accession of the Stuarts to the English Throne produced a century of turbulence in both countries arising from the inflexible politics of James I, Charles I and James II. Charles I's efforts to impose an Anglican form of worship on Presbyterian Scotland (1637) produced the first major crisis and led headlong to Charles' confrontation with Parliament (1640-42) and the Civil War (1642-51).
Scotland's part in the Civil War on the side of Parliament, (1643-45) and in support of Charles I in 1648 and Charles II (1651-52) are covered in two sheets, with an additional one on the heroic exploits of the Earl of Montrose (1644-50).
The Glorious Revolution of 1688 - 89 was established in Scotland despite the spirited resistance of 'Bonnie Dundee' and was irrevocably tarnished by the Massacre of Glencoe in 1692. The failure of the Protestant monarchs William III, Mary II and Anne to produce an heir and the plotting of the exiled James II and his 'Jacobite' successors threatened to divide England and Scotland. The Act of Union in 1707 resolved this, but did not prevent the spirited rebellions of 1715 and 1745 against the Hanoverian kings.
James Watt is included for he personified the prodigious contribution made by Scotland to Britain's Industrial Revolution (see Pack K1).
Period covered: 1586-1750.
