Holyrood and the Search for Scotland's Soul

Logo for Holyrood and the Search for Scotland's Soul

It has been ten years since Scotland got its parliament back. A nationalist government in Edinburgh is planning a referendum on independence. Will that happen? Or are we now seeing the settled state of the union? BBC Scotland's Political Editor Brian Taylor argues that the parliament came about to recognise a separate Scottish identity; that Scots felt different to the rest of the country, and wanted that reflected in their politics. But has Holyrood satisfied that need, or is more change needed? Including interviews with Alex Salmond, David Cameron, Gordon Brown and the man who delivered devolution, Tony Blair, the film asks: how did we get here? And where are we going next?
