Using the contents of BBC Scotland s television archive pertaining to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum campaign, this book examines how BBC Scotland s television archive is used to construct specific narratives about the past and what impact this might have on cultural memory of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum. The referendum was a seismic moment for the United Kingdom and its repercussions are still being felt today. It is likely to be revisited by historians, political analysts, and programme-makers for years to come. This book offers a unique insight into the role that BBC Scotland played in creating a narrative about the event. BBC Scotland not only told the story of the 2014 referendum campaign providing the lion s share of television and radio coverage of the campaign - but was also a major part of the story, occupying a contentious position during the campaign, with its news coverage of the event accused of institutional pro-union bias by pro-independence supporters.
