Scottish Unionist

A Scottish Unionist is someone in Scotland who supports maintaining the country's political union with the United Kingdom, meaning they favor Scotland remaining part of Great Britain and the UK, rather than becoming independent. Historically, Unionists have argued that staying united ensures stronger economic stability, defense, and international influence, as well as shared benefits within the UK. The term is often associated with political parties and movements that oppose Scottish independence, emphasizing the importance of current union arrangements while allowing for diverse opinions within Scotland.
