Scotland’s Constitution: Law and Practice, Fifth Edition provides a clear, comprehensive account of Scottish constitutional law within its UK and (continuing) European context. It describes and analyses constitutional arrangements while integrating that analysis with a general background to constitutional law and the UK institutions which have relevance for the government of Scotland.

- Coverage of new case law since the last edition including the Supreme Court’s rulings that the Scottish Parliament does not have the power to authorise an independence referendum and on challenges brought to Scottish legislation by the UK Government
- Streamlined material on Scotland’s constitutional history
- New material on children’s rights and equalities law
It provides an essential introduction to constitutional law for law students, Scots Law practitioners, and for others with a general interest in the subject.
