'Should Scotland be an independent country?' is the question which will be put before them. Annals of the Holyrood Parish describes in ten chapters the 'Decade of Devolution' that has led up to this decisive moment, from the 'rainbow parliament' of 2003 which, a year later, moved into Enric Miralles' new parliament building at Holyrood, to the absolute majority of the Scottish National Party, covering elections, parliamentary bills, the ups and downs of parties and politicians, and what the Scottish people and the Scottish media have made of it all. A fascinating chronicle unfolds which charts the devolution journey so far, throws light on both campaigns - for and against independence - and sets the scene for 'Scotland's date with destiny'.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEberhard 'Paddy' Bort \u003c\/b\u003e is the Academic Co-ordinator of the Institute of Governance at the University of Edinburgh's Academy of Government and the Director of the Institute's Parliamentary Programme with the Scottish Parliament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 340\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 13, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53213500965171,"sku":"9781907676505","price":47.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/gG_zMt3VO39781907676505.webp?v=1775694502","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-annals-of-the-holyrood-parish-a-decade-of-devolution-2004-2014-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
