Towards Scottish Independence? Understanding the Referendum

Beginning three weeks before voting day, the videos in this open resource look at the Scottish Independence debate as it happened, so that learners can engage critically and constructively with the arguments of both sides and other learners, and benefit from the input of leading academics.

The resource explores six key questions:  

• Why is Scotland having a referendum?
• What does ‘Yes’ mean?
• What does ‘No’ mean?
• What do Scots think?
• The Day After.
• What Next?

These videos are free open resources originally created for the short course, "Towards Scottish Independence? Understanding the Referendum". Although the course is not currently running, you can still work through the content in your own time using the videos in this open resource.
