Love her or hate her, Margaret Thatcher had an enormous impact on Scotland. Although her first visit to Scotland as Conservative leader was a success, Maggie's relationship with Scots quickly turned sour: she U-turned on Scottish devolution and during the early years of her premiership Scotland found itself bearing the brunt of a global recession. Did Thatcher care about Scotland? Why did Scots apparently reject her and Thatcherism? Torrance examines this curious dynamic and confronts many myths about Thatcherism in a cold climate.
