Why is it important?
Devolution is a hugely important part of the Scottish and British political order, but almost nobody has a coherent way of explaining it or telling a satisfying story about it. This essay explores why that might be.
Perspectives
Incorporating research findings (from a research project of the same name) was a challenge, but I hope this is an informative starting-point to anyone beginning to explore the cultural dimension of devolution.
