The History of the Scottish ParliamentGeneral EditorKeith M. Brownvolume 1Parliament and Politics in Scotland, 1286-1567edited by Keith M. Brown and Roland J. Tannervolume 2Parliament and Politics in Scotland, 1567-1707edited by Keith M. Brown and Alastair J. Mannvolume 3The Scottish Parliament: themes and issues, 1286-1707edited by Keith M. Brown and Alan R. MacDonaldThese three volumes comprise a new history of Scotland's first parliament from the first surviving official records in the thirteenth century to its final dissolution in 1707. Denigrated by unionists as inferior to the English parliament and despised by nationalists for agreeing to its own demise, the Scottish parliament has been shockingly under-researched by Scottish historians. This new history will go a long way towards redressing the balance, not merely putting the record straight but making it visible for the first time. Written by some twenty-five leading scholars the three volumes will be by far the most comprehensive history
