It seems a name is enough for no less a person than Dorothy Bain, the Lord Advocate of Scotland to state as a certain fact, that the Treaty of Union saw the extinction of the Kingdoms of Scotland and England and […]The post What’s in a name? appeared first on iScot Magazine.

Apologies everyone we are behind on the usual timescales but there is a reason.   As you might be aware Ken, our iScot editor, has been dealt a few health knocks recently. He had a mild heart attack in the autumn and then, as luck would have it, he has been recently diagnosed with inoperable slow-growing cancer. This is having […]The post Independence, above Party, Politicians and...

NEW INDY MEMBER ORGANISATION GETS DOWN TO WORK, EXPECTS TO BE FULLY OPERATIONAL IN NEW YEAR The new mass membership organisation for supporters of Scottish independence has begun detailed preparations for a full public launch in early 2021. The 15-person interim National Committee is meeting (virtually) twice a week, supported by a growing number of technical committees staffed by volunteers […]...

  Former Scottish Conservatives leader Ruth Davidson is lined up for a peerage and the reactions are as predictable as dropping a fist-sized chunk of magnesium in a sink of water (©my high school Chemistry supply teacher). “Reward for what?” is the standard printable response and one that underlines one of the two fundamental problems people have with the House […]The post Opinion...

He never spoke about it… There’s usually a trigger for iScot stories, though it’s not always obvious at the time.
