Was up north for a week there walking and fishing and the news of Eck passing was a real downer. He was a political giant compared to what's in the SNP currently. He was a great orator and sharp mind, he brought independence into the mainstream in a way no one else could.
Sadly Sturgeon and her pals tried to "stitch him up" and put him under great strain these last few years but he fought bravely and resisted under what must have been huge pressure. The cases against him were legally pretty weak but if convicted he would have been in prison during COVID and likely wouldn't have made it.
I felt really gutted that after all that he didn't get to pass away in his beloved Scotland.
RIP.
