Scottish republicanism
Scottish republicanism refers to the advocacy position held by some Scottish people in favour of Scotland becoming a republic, most often pro-independence organisations who advocate a Republic of Scotland with an elected head of state. Scotland's largest pro-independence party, the Scottish National Party, is not explicitly ideologically republican, though a large number of republican members exist, including Roseanna Cunningham, Christine Grahame, Rob Gibson and Natalie McGarry.
The foremost documentation of this ideology is the Declaration of Calton Hill (2004).
An example of a Scottish republican unionist is Adam Tomkins.
