Beautiful. Could listen to that song anytime of day, any mood and I could listen to it on repeat and it’s always perfect. Still can’t believe he’s gone. RIP you legend. For Scotland, keep the faith 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️

Nearly brought to tears during this song & finally they flowed when this was followed by Sheena Wellington led the assembly with an acapella "A Man's A Man For Aw That. RIP Alex

Wonderful tribute to a great Scot. Soon hopefully normal service will be resumed and Scotland will take its place again among the sovereign states of the world.

Inspired choices on all the participants, but " Caledonia " by Dougie Maclean in person was very, very special...

[@starmersbarber]

Beautiful.

Brilliant Dougie 😘 Caledonia never leaves you!!! Alex made us believe in ourselves again amongst other things. He proved he loved his native Caledonia time and time again. Thank you Alex, much love ❤️

@@poppymckenzie1438 yes in till the snp turned against him I can only imagine why.🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@poppymckenzie1438]

When you are an exceptional talent and decent person like Alex Salmond then the weak individuals of society know they can’t break you (or control you) so they result to nasty tactics to try and break you. The spineless individuals don’t do it one on one they need the support of their cronies!!!! Very weak and cowardly!!! They tried but did not succeed. Alex was a very strong individual and he loved Scotland. There was no act spineless and hope for the best there!!!

[@louisehogg8472]

Takes me back to sitting in the Higher History class, waiting for our teacher, and discussing the BBC's censorship before the 1992 General Election! My boyfriend decided to return to Scotland, towards the end of October. After being influenced by Alex Salmond in the months since I introduced them at the beginning of this year. He comes home within a fortnight. It's bittersweet.

Alex, had the heart of Ben Nevis and stood like Everest in his political abilities amongst his opponents. The dream will never die 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 RIP The faither o a nation.
