Subject: Father of the Nation From: Linda Kelly Date: 11 Oct 00 - 05:34 PM Be silent and upstanding for the sad death of Donald Dewar, the First Minister of Scotland who died today. A rare politician of wit and intellect who passionately believed in devolution and who brought about the formation of the first Scottish Parliament of the modern age. I hope there are songwriters in Scotland who can witness his achievements in song. |
