32 See McLean, Gallagher and Lodge, Scotlandâs Choices, p. 71, for the polling evidence. On his visit, Dr Spaenle said: âGerman unity has been achieved and is still taking shape whilst the regions epitomizing various traditions and viewpoints are living on. But no two cases of regional consciousness are identical. I am very much interested in getting to know the situation in Scotland, a country that since modern times has been linked in statehood to England, but that nevertheless has been able to preserve its own identityâ, www.gla.ac.uk, 16 May 2012. Scotland is presented both as a âregionâ and a âcountryâ here, its status diplomatically balanced; Bavaria as a region.
