Comment We would never have got this far had we and those who went before us not been prepared to be radical and to think outside the box OVER New Year, I was re-reading one of my favourite novels, Extraordinary Women by Compton Mackenzie. It’s a richly comic satire based on his and his wife’s experiences in lesbian society on the island of Capri where they lived during and after the First World War. Unfortunately, it’s out of print but if you can get hold of a copy, I highly recommend it. Like many of his fellow founders of the SNP, Compton Mackenzie was an intellectual and a free thinker. If he had not been prepared to question conventional beliefs and the status quo in the 1930s, he would not have been able to envisage an independent Scotland.
