Rt. Hon. Donald Dewar, LLB MA, Scottish Politician, 1937-2000. |

By this stage, Donald was in a position which the late John Smith would never have thought possible. He was able to start the devolution? process, and worked endlessly on creating the [Scotland Act]?. When ratified, this was to give Scotland it's first Parliament? for nearly 300 years. |

A man with endless enthusiasm, after Dewar underwent major [Open heart surgery]? in 2000, he returned to his post as First Minister very quickly. Sadly, later that year, he died of a serious brain haemorrhage which was triggered by the anticoagulant? medication he was taking after the surgery. He died a day later, in Edinburgh's Western General Hospital. His funeral service was held at Glasgow Cathedral. |
