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.

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