N2 - Religion and Society in Scotland since 1707 was published in 1997. It tells of the complexity of Christian cultures in Scotland during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and how these subsequently unraveled. At the turn of the century, wrote the social historian, Callum Brown, the ‘nosedive in church membership, churchgoing, religious marriage and baptism’ which had started during his teenagehood in the 1960s had continued. ‘At the same time’ – he continued – the puritanical regime of old Scots religion died with little fuss, fluttering to the ground lighter than a house of cards.’
