    • Society & Culture

The old adage that England ruled the greatest empire the world has ever seen but the Scots actually ran it has been generally confirmed by recent research and publication.

The lecture focused on the question of what the British
Empire did for Scotland and whether in the long run the imperial
project was of benefit to the Scottish people and nation.

The lecture was recorded on Tuesday 13 February 2007 in McEwan Hall Edinburgh.
