Saturday 18th August 2018 All Under One Banner Indy Ref 2 Dundee, Scotland
I have believed in an Independent Scotland since the early 1970's. My grandfather was a coal miner and I used to watch him get bathed in a tin bath by the coal fire by my granny. He took me to the pit as a wee laddie and showed me the miners getting lowered in the cages and said laddie you'll no be going down there. I was lucky, young James Dallas the first of our family to go to Uni haha that was a blast in the late 70's. I learnt a lot, especially about inequalities. It made sense to me, the independent democratic rights of the people's of Scotland. I have been a member of the Scottish National Party for most of that time and took a lot (thousands) of photographs for them. I have been there as the cause has grown and although I have not always agreed with most of their politicians (my freends) I thoroughly believe that they have created a fantastic parliament that works extremely hard to work within the tightest of grips from the Westminster oafs, creating some fantastic work and potential solutions and frameworks for everyone in Scotland to live in a more social and just society. All we need is for the Scottish people to have the confidence to believe.

Christine and Crawford Cumming in Edinburgh October 6th 2018 All Under One Banner Indy Ref 2
I have met many committed folks to the cause but none more so than Crawford Cumming. For all us lucky enough to know Crawf here he is alive and well and marching with me in Dundee and Edinburgh this year. I have to admit we started at the front of the march in Dundee and ended up getting there last haha. Crawf does like a conversation.
