European Parliamentary Elections

'This is a great day of hope for Scotland, paving the way for independence in Europe for our country. When the old 18 th century Scottish Parliament was closed down they said that it was the end of an auld sang. Now in 1994, Scotland is beginning to sing an new song, and it is a new song for Europe.'
Dr Allan Macartney, SNP MEP for North-east Scotland.
