1/5
In the first of a new series, Richard Holloway embarks on a personal quest to understand more about the Scots-British identity. His journey takes him to Skye on the trail of Flora Macdonald where he attempts to solve the seeming conundrum of how Scotland's most famous Jacobite heroine could have become a loyal subject of the Hanoverian British state in later life. He asks whether the concept of national identity we have today would hold true for a Scot living through the wars of the 18th/early 19th century, and he explores the role the Scots played in inventing 'Britishness'. But was there also a dark side to all this - profiting in the miseries caused by empire?
