PRO-independence politicians have been reminiscing on the anniversary of a debate that took place 26 years ago today. Kevin Pringle, the SNP s former PR chief, tweeted a video of The Great Debate , a head-to-head between Alex Salmond and Labour s shadow Scottish Secretary of the time George Robertson, in 1995. The event was hosted by National columnist Leslie Riddoch in at the Royal High School in Edinburgh, which was favourite to be the Scottish Parliament at the time. It was a debate about independence and devolution. Twenty-five years ago tonight, the Salmond/Robertson ‘Great Debate’ - devolution vs independence - in Edinburgh’s Old Royal High School. A few familiar faces in the audience! https://t.co/Pjg5nTeq7D Kevin Pringle (@KevinJPringle) February 13, 2020
