The Sectarian Myth in Scotland

"This book offers a systematic and critical engagement with 'sectarianism' in twentieth-century Scotland. Stepping back from the received wisdom regarding Protestant-Catholic relations, it argues that modern Scotland is not characterised by sharp cleavages across religious lines. Differences between Protestant and Catholic in several key areas of Scottish political life have been grossly overplayed - Scotland is by no means 'Ulster without the guns'."--BOOK JACKET.
