BBC Radio Scotland - The Cause: A History of Scottish Nationalism, Episode 6

Billy Kay recalls the energy, hope, failure, gloom and resurrection of the yes campaign.

Billy Kay recalls the optimism and energy of the independence campaign, its end in failure, and its resurrection, which culminated in an SNP landslide at the general election.

Billy Kay considers what happened to the national movement over a turbulent and emotional period covering the Yes campaign, the Referendum and its dramatic aftermath. This saw a surge in SNP membership and the resurrection of the movement culminating with an SNP landslide in the 2015 General Election. When Billy asked Alex Salmond to sum up what had taken place in the Cause's recent history, he replied. "Well, I suppose, in a nutshell, we lost the Referendum but we might be well on our way to winning the country."

We focus on the creativity and diversity of the Yes campaign where disparate groups like Women for Independence, Business for Scotland, and the artists of National Collective came together in a common cause. Billy interviews Chris Law MP e.g. whose beautifully refurbished fire engine, Spirit of Independence inspired people to join a burgeoning campaign. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said that the engagement of the grass roots events that she attended made this "the most energising experience" of her life. 

Dundee had a vibrant Yes team, and Billy records their highs and lows. Harry Marshall e.g was responsible for registering over 3000 people to vote. One of those queuing to register told Alex Salmond he was doing it because it was the first time in his life he had experienced something worth voting for! 

The Referendum defeat was one of the worst experiences of these peopes lives, yet within days the surge of people joining the SNP gave the party and the Cause renewed hope for the future. Energised once again the new momentum carried into the General Election victory Everyone Billy spoke to, young and old is now convinced that Scotland will be independent within their own lifetime.

Billy Kay explores the history of Scottish nationalism from the 14th to the 21st century.

Billy Kay traces the story of Scottish nationalism from the Wars of Independence to the rise of the SNP and what was perceived as the anglicisation of Scotland in the 20th century.

The revival of The Cheviot, The Stag & The Black Black Oil. Plus Liz Lochhead's new play.

Janice hears from the director and cast of the revival of The Cheviot, The Stag and The Black Black Oil. Plus Liz Lochhead tells us about her new play, What Goes Around.

Janice has a feast of theatre on the programme today.

The Cheviot, The Stag and The Black Black Oil revolutionised theatre in Scotland when it was first produced in 1973. Now Dundee Rep have revived the play for a post-referendum Scotland. Director Joe Douglas and cast members, Calum MacDonald and Aly Macrae, give us a flavour.

Liz Lochhead's tells us about her new play, What Goes Around, a backstage comedy based on Arthur Schnitzler's play La Ronde, that scandalised Vienna when it was published in 1903. 

Debut novelist Andrea Bennett lived in Russia during the Yeltsin years in the 1990s. Her new book, Galina Petrovna's Three-Legged Dog Story is the hilarious tale of septuagenarian Galina, whose beloved dog, Boroda, is captured by dog-hater and Depeche-Mode-lover, Mitya The Exterminator.

Concrete Antenna is a startling and beautiful soundscape installed in a hollow tower at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop in Newhaven. Nicola Meighan heads down there to meet the artists behind it.

And on Tuesday Review, this week's critics are Kirsty Miller and Stewart Smith. They discuss Billy Connolly's exhibition of his artworks at the People's Palace in Glasgow; the new TV adaptation of classic novel, The Go Between; and the brand new album from Duran Duran, Paper Gods.
