Tribute To The Late Sorley Maclean

EDM number 251 in 1996-97, proposed by Charles Kennedy on 26/11/1996.

That this House, while noting with sadness and condolences the passing of Sorley Maclean, believes it right to mark with gratitude his immense contribution to the Gaelic literature of the 20th century; further draws attention to his distinguished life of public service, through active military service and injury in World War II, his career in Scottish education, and his personal commitment to the sport of shinty; and expresses the hope that in due course the nation will see fit to establish a fitting memorial to his personal memory and landmark legacy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
