Abstract

The article examines the institutional origins of the referendum for independence in Scotland on September 18, 2014. It claims that the referendums were promised by the minority government of British Prime Minister James Callaghan to gain the support of the Scottish National Party (SNP) and Plaid Cymru. Also examined are the situation in Scotland under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, as well as the Scottish and Welsh devolution under Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
