ILLEGITIMATE SCOTLAND.

The article focuses on the prevalence and shifting perceptions of unmarried motherhood in rural and urban Scotland during the mid-20th century, challenging assumptions about morality and social norms. Topics include sensational media portrayals of "illegitimacy" in rural communities, the existence of alternative local attitudes that accepted non-marital relationships, and the broader social and class-based changes that made unmarried motherhood increasingly common across the country.
