Scottish Independence Quotes

“We will drain our dearest veins,

― Robert Burns, The complete poetical works of Robert Burns

“What a sight the big man made, sitting his horse with a commanding presence as if he were born to the guardianship. If she hadn't known him, Eva would have guessed him to be as regal as a king.”

“It is highly unlikely that the SNP will win an outright majority in the imminent future. If they do, they have no plan for what to do if the UK government say no to another independence referendum.

Their continuation in government risks damaging further the self-belief Scots need that we can govern ourselves effectively.”
― Joanna Cherry, Keeping the Dream Alive: An Insider's Account of a Tumultuous Decade in Scottish Politics
