THE Sunday National asked some prominent Scots to nominate their first president of an independent Scotland in the style of an Irish president, who is elected by the people. Here's what they thought...
Liz Lochhead: I would nominate Karine Polwart. She is such a wonderful singer and also an articulate and powerful speaker and writer about Scotland and land and conservation and climate activism – the writing of her show Wind Resistance was lovely and accessible and unpretentious too. And she is beautiful and gentle and gracious as well as strong.
