Following the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Scottish National Party and the untimely death of Sir Professor Neil MacFarlane and the approaching second year of the Scottish Government I was pleased to notice that BBC Alba (increasingly becoming the Scottish Broadcasting Council we all need and want) are playing:
'Madame Ecosse'
Produced & Directed by Ishbel MacIver
Producer Morag Stewart
With contributions from
Alex Salmond, Ian Paisley, Tam Dalyell, Michael Russell, Brian Wilson, Angus Brendan MacNeil, Alasdair Allan and Fergus Ewing.
Monday 13th April at 9pm & Tuesday 14th April at 10pm
on BBC Alba, Sky Channel 168 & Free Sat channel 110
After five decades in politics spent in three parliaments, Westminster, Europe where she earned her nickname Madame Ecosse and the Scottish Parliament, Winnie has been hailed as a nationalist heroine who is loved by some and loathed by others.
So how did this lawyer become the Grand Dame of Scottish politics and why are we still coming to terms with the effects of her win at Hamilton?
