Scottish nationalism and the national day

Scotland’s national day, St Andrew’s Day, this year sees the publication of a new volume exploring the origins of the modern quest for Scottish independence. Historian Owen Dudley Edwards tells Alex why Scottish national identity has survived 400 years of first monarchical and then political union with England.

Former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond hosts a new political chat program, ‘The Alex Salmond Show’, on RT, where he vows to battle the mainstream media narrative and take the news “out of the Westminster nexus.” ‘The Alex Salmond Show’ will take viewers inside the Welsh, Irish and Scottish parliaments, also looking at the government of Northern Ireland, not forgetting Westminster.
