My Scotland, Our Britain A Future Worth Sharing is a highly personal account of Gordon Browns Scotland, the nation he was born in and our Britain, the multinational state that the Scots, English, Welsh and Northern Irish have created and share. Laying bare his familys ancestry over 300 years of the Union and explaining how it shaped his background, Brown charts what it was like growing up in Scotland in the 1950s and 1960s and explains the influence of religion, education and Scotlands unique industrial structure on the shaping of his and Scotlands identity. He sets out the dramatic economic, social and cultural changes of the past 50 years and the vastly different prospects his children will face, demonstrating that a sense of Scottish national identity has always remained strong and how Scottish institutions have always fiercely guarded their independence.
