King John

John MacDonald MacCormick (1904 – 1961) was a Scottish lawyer, politician and advocate of Home Rule for Scotland. Between 1923 and 1928 he studied law at the University of Glasgow. In 1927 he left the Independent Labour Party and formed Glasgow University Scottish Nationalist Association (GUSNA) which promoted Scottish culture and self-government.

MacCormick was a founder of the National Party of Scotland in 1928 and, with the merger of the NPS and the Scottish Party in 1934, he became a leading member of the Scottish National Party.

In 1942 he left the SNP and was instrumental in the forming of the Scottish Covention which went on to produce the Scottish Covenant in 1949, upon which nearly 2 million signatures of support for Scottish Home Rule were obtained.
