His wife, Lorna, is thinking of scattering his ashes on the field of Bannockburn where he was howled off the mike by an "apolitical" group. His wife Lorna, a retired nurse, had to take him home. This was his last pubic appearance.

Hearing that a motion on Dr James D Young of the SRSM and a Scottish Republican Socialist author and activist of the very front rank is being put to the Scottish Parliament by SNP MSP Bill Kidd. A fitting tribute to a great Scottish Patriot and fighter for his class.
