ReplyDeleteIt was Willie McRae some 20 odd years ago so aybe you were too young then?
ReplyDeleteWillie MacRae (May 18, 1923 – April 7, 1985) was a Scottish nationalist politician and lawyer, best remembered for the mystery surrounding his death.
MacRae was an active member of the Scottish National Party (SNP) and an anti-nuclear campaigner.[1] A qualified solicitor, MacRae had in fact contested the SNP leadership in 1979, coming third in a three-way contest with 52 votes to Stephen Maxwell's 117 votes and winner Gordon Wilson's 530 votes.[2]
He was active outside Scotland too, having served in the Royal Indian Navy and becoming friendly to the campaign for independence for India.[3] He was also the author of the maritime law code of Israel and emeritus professor at the University of Haifa. After his death a forest of 3,000 trees was planted in Israel to mark his passing.
He died having shot himself in the head and then threw the gun away!
