Dave enjoys putting his experience at the service of the people of the Highlands and Islands as their MSP, and will always put his constituents first.
My Independent Scotland will be a shining beacon in a darkened world, a force for good and a caring community, where all are valued.
I have been very conscious of my Scottishness ever since it was drummed into me in school by a teacher of English who took great delight in rapping my knuckles with a ruler every time my Doric emerged in class.
The Independent Scotland I want will have none of that discrimination and our differences will be celebrated.
Whether we are from the North, South, East or West; Whether our mother tongue is Gaelic, Scots, English or another; Whether we were born here or not - we will all be respected.
That teacher of English did this wee loon a great favour when he taught me to love Scottish justice and decency.
We are a small and diverse nation but our diversity is our strength.
My Independent Scotland will be a shining beacon in a darkened world, a force for good and a caring community, where all are valued.
