Scotland's Greatest Time

While I’m disappointed that a majority of Scots have voted against independence, I’m happy and inspired nonetheless. Scots are more engaged now than at anytime in living memory, and, with almost four million people voting, this has been the greatest incidence of participation in democracy in Scotland’s history.

As a child and young man in Scotland, the only hope I ever felt was the hope of getting out of there. I now feel hopeful for Scotland for the first time ever.
