YOURS FOR SCOTLAND
by James Halliday

 To those that believe the SNP did not exist until they themselves joined, this book paints a picture of a fractious developing party, many members who joined to push their own particular agendas, and stomped off into the twilight when they did not get their own way, and more who stayed the course, and lived to see the SNP sweeping to a victory which they could never imagine in their wildest dreams. It is a surprisingly frank account, very insightful, and with the type of shrewd and humorous comments one has associated with Jimmy Halliday over the years., a joy to read – well for some!

PIRATES OF THE AIR
THE STORY OF RADIO FREE SCOTLAND by Gordon Wilson

The first of the pirate radio stations, Radio Free Scotland burst on to the air in late 1956 at a time when the nationalist movement was miniscule and received no radio or TV coverage.

Written by Gordon Wilson, its Director of Programmes in the sixties and later SNP Chairman, the book gives an interesting account of the inner workings of a land-based pirate radio and covers ground hitherto unknown. Out in October.
