Caledonian Dreaming examines the state of contemporary Scotland, the independence referendum, and its wider consequences. In this accessible book, Hassan challenges the myths that define modern Scotland and its place in the United Kingdom. He forensically examines the shortcomings of Scottish society—from the 'missing Scotland' of voters disconnected from public life to the collusion of Labour and SNP on most issues bar independence. He argues that Scotland has the potential to become a modern, progressive, democratic country—aided by the creative energies and passions unleashed by the independence question.
