They differed with the existing National Party of Scotland NPS on the grounds that their Scottish independence was ambiguous about the Empire, and also disagreed with the left of centre platform of the NPS. The ScottishParty initially acted more as a think tank than an active political party, but received overtures from the founder of the NPS, John MacCormick , to merge with the NPS to unify the elements of the Scottish independence movement. The party s candidate for the Kilmarnock by election, 1933 November 1933 by election in Kilmarnock UK Parliament constituency Kilmarnock received NPS backing, and this co operation concluded with the merger of the two parties in 1934 to become the Scottish National Party .

The Scottish Workers Republican Party SWRP was formed by the Scotland Scottish Marxist activist John Maclean Scottish socialist John Maclean 1879 1923 in the 1910s. It advocated the political doctrine of communism , whilst also supporting Scottish independence . This dual communist nationalist doctrine was heavily influenced by the thinking of James Connolly who similarly believed in socialism and independence for Ireland and had set up his Irish Socialist Republican Party in 1896. MacLean argued that the break up of the British state and empire would aid the cause of world wide socialism and thus he supported the idea of an independent Scotland . This inherent nationalism alienated the SWRP from the mainstream British left though. The SWRP carried on its political activity for some time after the death of MacLean in 1923 but never made any real impact politically. An organisation which resurrected the name Scottish Workers Republican Party was formed in 1974 as a split from the Scottish Republican Socialist Clubs forerunner of the Scottish Republican Socialist Party . In 1976 most of the members of the SWRP joined Jim Sillars Scottish Labour Party 1976 Scottish Labour Party and this SWRP Mark II party also became defunct.
