Abstract

The article presents an historical overview of the emergence of birth control clinics throughout Scotland from 1926 to the outbreak of World War II, noting its distinctions from trends of larger Great Britain. Topics addressed include the legal and administrative context surrounding their establishment, the dynamics between clinics and their support by individuals, voluntary organizations, and local governing bodies, and the role of Scottish religious views on birth control within the period.
