Scottish Research Society
INDEPENDENT RESEARCH

Research and analysis on the questions shaping Scotland’s future.

The Scottish Research Society aims to collect relevant materials from sources inside and outside the public domain, with which to commission academic works on subjects related to the ongoing constitutional debate.

From these sources, the Society will publicise views and informed opinion through media outlets, and through website and blog avenues.

To view any of the major topics researched and produced by academics, please select from the Latest Research, 2014 Referendum Archive or White Papers.
