 | | Under the pressure of growing support for Scottish independence a policy of devolution had been advocated by all three UK-wide parties to some degree during their history (although Labour and the Conservatives have also at times opposed it). | | | This question dominated the Scottish political scene in the latter half of the 20th century. | | | Other parties include the Conservative and Unionist Party, the Scottish Green Party and the Scottish Socialist Party. |

| | Duncan was defeated in battle in 1040 by Macbeth, the Pictish candidate for the throne whose family had been suppressed by Malcolm II. | | | Numerous legislative attempts were made to stamp out or alter aspects of Scottish society, and were largely successful, though there is reason to believe that the first glimmerings of the Industrial Revolution and a modern money economy had much to do with the final breakdown. | | | Some consider his (possibly apocryphal) conversion of the Pictish King Brude the turning point in the Christianization of Scotland. |
