"Domestic Annals of Scotland: From the Revolution to the Rebellion of 1745" by Robert Chambers is a historical account published in the mid-19th century. This work seeks to document the intricate social, political, and ecclesiastical changes in Scotland during a transformative half-century following the Revolution of 1688. It covers the nation's evolving societal values, from oppressive governance and religious intolerance to emerging constitutional frameworks and social progress. The opening of the book sets the stage by describing the tumultuous period of the Scottish Revolution and the immediate aftermath of King James II's flight to France. Chambers presents a vivid depiction of the political upheaval, detailing how old power structures fell and new leaders emerged, exemplified by activists like William and Mary assuming the throne. The beginning also addresses the socio-religious dynamics at play, such as the violent rejection of episcopal authorities and the growing discontent among those loyal to the exiled king—a context that foreshadows the lingering Jacobite sentiments that would shape Scotland in the coming years.
