The Union of 1707

The Union of the Parliaments of Scotland and England in 1707 was a pivotal moment in Scottish history.

The Union of 1707 resource was originally created as part of the A Union for a' That schools education project in 2007. This was a joint project between the National Archives of Scotland (now the National Records of Scotland), the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, Historic Scotland, the National Library of Scotland, the National Galleries of Scotland, The Scottish Government, the Law Society of Scotland and Learning Teaching Scotland (now Education Scotland). Originally issued to all schools in Scotland as a DVD, we would like to thank all the former project partners for their support in making this resource available online.
