Scottish Radical

Scottish Radicals were a political movement in 19th and early 20th-century Scotland advocating for social, political, and economic reforms. They sought greater democracy, workers’ rights, and improvements in education and welfare, often challenging conservative traditions and authority. Influenced by broader radical ideas across Europe, they played a key role in shaping Scottish and UK politics by promoting issues like land reform, parliamentary reform, and social justice. Their efforts contributed to expanding political participation and pushing for progressive change in Scottish society.
