Did Scotland’s rough wind become something more after the
referendum, as so many hoped it would, or did it blow itself out?
What power can pessimism have in a nation of newfound
self-confidence? A generation ago, the socialist poet Hamish
Henderson forecast that ‘mair nor a roch wind’ - more than a
rough wind - would rush through the great glen of the world as
empires and nations collapsed. In Roch Winds, three young radicals
pick through the rubble left in the wake of the storm that
propelled the Scottish National Party into a position of
unprecedented political dominance in Scotland. This darkly humorous
book dissects the rise of the SNP and the fall of Labour during the
months leading up to 2014 Independence Referendum and beyond.
Drawing on their involvement in the Yes campaign for independence
and the Labour Party, the authors cast their eyes to Scotland’s
future and to radical horizons. Fluent, funny and full of fighting
talk, this book is for everyone who has ever wondered what lies
behind the tartan curtain of Scotland’s new establishment.
