In addition to the above, there is an impressive list of primary sources available to those who want to undertake original research of their own. Of particular interest to CSP members may be "SCOTTISH HOME RULE", published by the 'second' Scottish Home Rule Association from 1919 to 1929, and the various publications around the National Covenant campaign of the late 1940s / early 1950s, i.e. "SCOTTISH OPINION" and its successor "NEW COVENANTOR AND SCOTTISH OPINION", published from 1942 to 1952. Both set of publications are held by the National Library of Scotland (though not online!).

If you have any further suggestions for documents to add to the bibliography, please email us a full Author / Title / Year of Publication reference and we shall be glad to consider it for addition at the next update. Thank you!
