The Scottish National Party (SNP) has been making waves in Scotland for decades, championing the rights and aspirations of the Scottish people. Led by charismatic figures such as Alex Salmond, this political party has left an indelible mark on Scottish politics. In 1988, during a Glasgow Govan By-Election, the SNP showcased its growing popularity when Alex Salmond secured a stunning 300 vote majority to become leader of the party. This victory was just one step in their journey towards greater recognition and influence. Throughout the 1990s, the SNP continued to make headlines with their unwavering commitment to Scotland's interests. In March 1992, they held a meeting at Norton House in Edinburgh where members discussed strategies for advancing their cause. The following year saw them hosting a news press conference on December 10th to address important issues facing Scotland. Alex Salmond remained at the forefront of these developments. His presence was felt not only within political circles but also beyond them. He extended his support to individuals like Stan Morrice from Aberdeen who received assistance with his fuel bill thanks to Salmond's intervention. The SNP's impact extended beyond contemporary politics as well. In Compton Mackenzie's artwork from 1937, featuring unknown artists commissioned by WD & HO Wills, we see how even then they were seen as an influential force fighting for Scotland's rights. The party also knew how to celebrate its achievements and rally supporters together. At film premieres like "Entrapment" at Odeon cinema or during their own launches in the 1990s, figures like Margaret Ewing, Dick Douglas, Andrew Welsh stood alongside Alex Salmond - all united under the SNP banner. One cannot overlook how far they have come since those early days; smiles adorned faces during line-ups that included Dr Craig Rankin or George Washington himself symbolically joining forces with them - demonstrating that even historical figures recognized the SNP's cause.
