A PLAQUE dedicated to the work of the first SNP president Roland Muirhead has been erected in his home village of Lochwinnoch.
Muirhead was president of the SNP from 1936 to 1950 and helped found the party after previously being the first chairman of the National Party of Scotland – one of the predecessors to the SNP alongside the Scottish Party.
In 1950, Muirhead – who died in 1964 - also formed the Scottish National Congress, a direct action group focused on campaigning for Scottish Home Rule.
