The Scottish Unionist Party (3216 words) |
 | The "Scottish Unionist Party", or "Unionist Party" as it was known within Scotland, was the main Tory or Conservative organisation in Scotland between 1912 and 1965. |
| Whilst the party may have been linked on a Parliamentary level with the Conservative and Unionist Party in England and Wales, it was conscious that it had to appeal to the middle class liberal tradition in Scotland and studiously avoided using the term "Conservative". |
| This was at odds with the past Scottish Unionist position of "service to others and to the community" and was graphically illustrated by the cool reception she received at the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland when she made her "Sermon on the Mound". |
