Scottish Nationalism is a political and cultural movement that seeks to promote the interests and identity of Scotland and its people. It advocates for greater autonomy or independence from the United Kingdom, emphasizing Scotland's distinct history, language, and traditions. The movement gained significant momentum in the late 20th century, particularly with the establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999. Various political parties, most notably the Scottish National Party (SNP), have played key roles in advancing nationalist goals, including calls for a second referendum on Scottish independence following the 2014 vote.
