From humble beginnings as a branch of the Home Office created in 1885 to quell discontent north of the border, the Scottish Office grew to become a mini-Whitehall by the 1930s. Shedding light on the complex machinations of pre-devolution Scottish politics, this biographical history charts the trials and tribulations of the 40 influential and often colourful personalities, from AJ Balfour to Donald Dewar, who held the office of Scottish Secretary. Introduction by James Naughtie.
