He turned Scotland from a ''och, ye cannae'' to ''aye, we mibbae'' type o' place.

Wee Nicky will finish the ''####in', right we can'' job.

I was mid teens when the parliament came back. I didn't read enough about it, but I seen Connery, Salmond, Dewar, Galloway (he was big back then) all championing it.

Anyhoos, it came. It was pretty shite. We had a few muddles not fiddles, and apart from the smoking law - what else did we do?

SNP won in 2007 by 1 single vote. Not seat, but vote! What a contrast system from FPTP.

Anyhoos, the name change alone was enough to believe - the Scottish executive to the Scottish Government.

People like him. His opinion poll after poll rating prove this, people like the SNP.

He has done an amazing job.

From moving a minority govt (and cause) to the natural choice of government. Those god damn 'proud' Jocks, will vote yes next time, I'm so sure.

I know it wasn't him or the SNP, but all the No voters I met spouted him, so he deserves some credift for us hipster, left, yes voters..

45%

With absolute no powers, no influence, no credability - we are basically a Swedish county council, we have no proper infuence on the world (unlike what we may think we do), our only reason as a football team is due to history.

As for Alex - our first president.

For all it was a good programme, you couldn't help but think the state broadcaster had done its work, and now it was time to give him a bit of praise.

I've not watched as i fear it would annoy me but yeah if they are being decent now it will be an attempt to retroactively balance out their disgraceful behaviour during the referendum now when it does not matter..
