The Scottish independence referendum of September 2014 resulted in a comfortable victory for the No campaign. But one of its legacies was a strengthened and mobilized nationalist party and movement committed to securing stronger self-government within the United Kingdom. This paper will chart the dynamics of Scottish self-government before and after the referendum. In so doing, it will explore the meaning and spectrum of self-government from independence to interdependence, and how this has been contextualised in political debate. It will also examine the prospects for, and challenge of, accommodating Scottish self-government within an asymmetrical Union state.
