Tributes for SNP 'trailblazer'
|
TRIBUTES were paid today to the political trailblazer and
nationalist Douglas Henderson following his death at the age of 71.
Originally from Edinburgh, Mr Henderson joined the SNP at 14 and
went on to hold almost every party office at local and national level
after he won the East Aberdeenshire seat in 1974.

politics two years ago and was set to stand in the forthcoming
Scottish elections for Falkirk East seat.
