Agreed, NS. Not only in politics, where he was very much held in the highest estemm, but amongst all the main churches in Scotland. I well remember him addressing the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland on two occasions, and I met him at an ecumenical committee on Scotland's future back around 1996.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

A decent, thoughtful and quietly influential man - we could do with more like him.
