Watch Dougie MacLean's full performance of Caledonia at Alex Salmond's memorial

SCOTTISH singer Dougie MacLean performed Caledonia at a memorial service for Alex Salmond in Edinburgh on Saturday.

The singer was among a number of performers present at the service, which also included The Proclaimers.

The Leith duo performed their song Cap In Hand, a pro-independence song which features the line: “I can’t understand why we let someone else rule our land, cap in hand.”

You can watch MacLean’s full performance below.

A number of major political figures were present at the service, including First Minister John Swinney and Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes.

Kenny MacAskill, the acting leader of the Alba Party, told the service Salmond “restored pride” in Scotland.
