Shukman, Ann Margaret (2012) The fall of Episcopacy in Scotland 1688-1691. MPhil(R) thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

This thesis attempts to shed light on a little-studied moment in the history of
the Williamite revolution in Scotland, namely what factors led to the
abolition of episcopacy in July 1689 and the establishment of Presbyterian
church government in June 1690. It attempts to analyse the various political
forces at play and the ideas which motivated the lead figures.
