Britain's Secret War - tartan terrorism and the Anglo-American state

"Since 1968 there have been approxiamtely 79 bombing incidents, forty `political' bank raids and numerous hoaxes and bomb scares. Letter bombs have exploded in the offices of senior Conservative Ministers and one has claimed that Mrs Thatcher only narrowly escaped assassination. Judges at 18 trials involving 1,095 witnesses have handed out sentences to 52 Scottish terrorists, a total of 286 years in jail. The cost to the state in terms of damage has been several million pounds. The cost of police and Special Branch activities is incalculable. The terror trials have created new records in Scottish legal history: the longest trial (1976), the longest jail sentence for a non-capital offence (1972) and the most intensive security operation ever seen at a Scottish high court (1980)."
