A
The
final
item
of
businesses,
members
business
debate
on
motion,
one
six:
zero:
zero,
zero
in
the
name
of
Joel
McHale
pain
on
celebrating
Hamish
Henderson.
This
debate
will
be
concluded
without
any
questions
being
put
and
I
would
ask
those
members
who
wish
to
speak
in
the
debate
to
press
the
request
to
speak
buttons
and
I
call
on
Joel
McHale
paid
to
open
the
debate
for
around
seven
minutes.
Please.
B
Given
his
constituency
interest
and
his
great
interest
in
this
debate,
the
great
American
folk
musician,
Pete
Seeger
once
said
that
he
loved
Scotland
as
much
as
he
loved
life
itself,
and
he
was
right
now.
Scotland
is
reciprocating
that
love
with
the
flooding
of
events
for
this
centenary.
For
many
years
him
Henderson
dominated
Scotland's
intellectual
landscape.
He
linked
the
1920s
literary
Renaissance,
spearheaded
by
that
unapologetic,
elitist
humid
damid,
with
the
unapologetically
egalitarian
folk
revival
of
the
1950s
of
which
he
Mischa
was
the
driving
force.
B
His
work
with
the
school
of
Scottish
studies
recording
and
popularizing,
the
loving
tradition
of
Scotland
is
unsurpassed.
The
singers
and
songs
Hamish
discovered
inspired
a
generation
of
artists,
including
the
young
Bob
Dylan,
and
like
Robert
Burns
Sir,
Walter,
Scott
and
James
Hawke
in
previous
centuries,
Hamish
collected,
preserved
and
promoted
the
lives
and
concerns
of
otherwise
invisible
people
in
both
East
Mills
fields
and
factories,
and
he
added
wonderful
songs
of
his
own
Hamish
Anderson
was
born
in
burglary
a
year
after
the
Armistice
on
the
11th
of
November
1919
to
Janet
a
single
mother.
B
His
the
earliest
years
were
spent
in
the
spittle
of
Glenn
XI,
where
he
first
learned
to
appreciate
the
songs
that
his
mother
pointed
out
could
not
be
found
in
books.
Poverty,
forced
Janet
took
into
service
in
Somers
Somerset,
but
she
died
when
he
was
just
13,
leaving
him
completely
alone
in
the
world.
Here
mich
won
a
scholarship
to
Dalek
school
in
London,
which
he
attended
by
day
while
living
in
an
orphanage
in
Clapham
in
the
evenings.
B
He
then
went
to
Cambridge
on
another
scholarship,
to
study
modern,
why
images
from
an
early
age
had
a
strong
sense
of
social
justice
as
a
student,
he
spent
summers
in
Germany,
but
he
was
horrified
by
Nazi
as
them
and
helped
young
Jewish
people
escape
during
the
war.
He
served
with
distinction
as
an
intelligence
officer
in
North,
Africa
and
Italy,
but
he
collected
ballads
from
the
soldiers,
including
his
captives
and
wrote
songs,
including
the
famous
51st
Highland
divisions,
farewell
to
Sicily
who
in
charge
of
one
prisoner
mouse,
marshal
Rodolfo
Graziani.
B
He
helped
write
the
order
demanding
the
surrender
of
all
access
trips
in
Italy.
He
also
the
job
of
liaison
with
Italian
Italy's
anti-fascist
partisans
and
through
him
them
discovered
the
work
of
Antonio
Gramsci
who's.
President
later
he
later
translated
into
English
his
collection,
allergies,
for
the
dead
and
Cyrenaica
is
considered
amongst
the
finest
poetry
of
World
War,
two
and
at
one
the
saucer
implies
in
1949,
and
he
then
assisted
the
American
folklorist
Alan
Lomax
in
capturing
Scotland's
undiscovered
traditional
singers
for
Columbia
Records
with
the
latest
technology,
the
reel-to-reel
tape
recorder.
B
This
is
perhaps
the
defining
event
of
his
life
for
him.
Each
went
on
to
pursue
this
field
collection
mark
at
the
newly
formed
school
Scottish
studies
at
Edinburgh
University,
where
he
worked
until
his
death
in
2002,
latterly
as
an
honorary
fellow,
the
school
Scottish
Studies
archive
is
one
of
the
most
important
collections
in
Europe,
an
oral
and
visual
record
of
the
lifes
of
Scotland's
working
people,
their
social
conditions,
customs
beliefs,
songs
and
stories.
He
wishes.
Recordings
are
among
the
33,000
held
in
the
archives,
around
10,000
of
which
are
field
recordings.
B
Support
from
the
lottery
and
other
partners,
including
the
Scottish
government,
allowed
online
access
from
2010
to
a
selection
of
extracts
from
this
school's
collection
through
Tobin
and
Dulles
and
Kasturi
teachers
website.
The
university
is
exploring
future
approaches
to
providing
online
access
for
the
collections
and
we
support
them
in
this
important
work.

as

oi
a

and

B
There
are
many
more
some
of
the
best
singers,
but
from
the
marginalized
travelling
community,
Hamish
lived
among
them
as
a
true
friend
and
many
of
these
singers
performed
at
the
people's
Kayle.
He
launched
at
the
Edinburgh
Festival
in
1951
that
marked
the
beginnings
of
the
folk
revival
in
Scotland.
The
singer/songwriter

1985.
B
Had
this
to
say
about
him,
issues
and
contribution
three
stands
are
three
strands
are
distinguishable
in
the
Scottish
football
revival,
the
academic,
the
club,
Festival
movement
and
the
traditional,
and
perhaps
the
only
person
who
are
stiffened
to
intertwine.
The
three
has
been
dr.,
Henderson
Hamish
believed
it
was
important
to
add
to
the
vibrant,
carrying
stream
of
folk
tradition
with
new
work.
B
This
he
did
with
great
fear
of
his
contributions
include
farewell
to
Sicily
the
joy
McLean
March
Livonia,
which
called
for
the
release
of
Nelson
Mandela
long
before
the
world
walk
up
to
the
true
injustice
of
his
imprisonment
and
when
Mandela
came
to
Glasgow.
After
his
release,
it
was
Hamish
Sherman

stage

camo.
He
was
written
in
1964.
The
protests
against
put
out
Polaris
in
the
Clyde
is
sometimes
suggested
as
the
national
anthem
for
Scotland.
Although
I
understand
he,
mich
did
not
approve
of
our
idea.
It's
an
international
anthem
of
peace.
B
It
condemns
the
impact
of
colonial
wars,
both
on
the
working
class
Scots,
who
fought
them
and
the
families
in
Africa
and
Asia
who
suffered
as
a
consequence.
He
imagines
an
end
to
all
this

B
The

been
recorded
and
performed
by
dozens
of
artists,
and
it
was
sung
again
in

and

including

by

Jim
McIntosh
for
the

Republic
press
and
available
today,
I'm
glad
to
say
from
the
coast
Scottish
Parliament
shop.
Next
week
we
will
see
a
celebration
by
the
association
of
Scottish
literary
studies
and
Hamish
matters
that
sale
takes
place
in
burg,
outi
in
November,
as
does
the

in
Edinburgh
folk

B
A
memorial
plaque
will
be
unveiled
at
the
school
of
Scottish
studies
on
his
birthday
and
there
will
be
a
symposium
at
the
University
in
December,
followed
by
a
concert
in
the
Queen's
Hall.
His
collected,
poems
will
be
published
by
Berlin
before
the
year
ends.
There
is,
however,
something
that
thing
about
this
particular
tribute
in
our
national
parliament.
The
folk
revival
in
which
Hamish
was
so
pivotal,
pivotal
change,
Scotland.
B
A
C
C
He
came
to
my
hometown
of
Keith
to
the
first
ever
tea,
SME,
music
festival,
and
it
was
as
I
say,
the
first
one,
which
has
now
become
an
annual
fixture
in
the
TSM,
a
Cal
calendar
and,
of
course,
Keith
is
now
the
Scots
language
tune
and
the
Northeast
still
is
the
home
of
traditional
music.
Bothy,
ballads
and
I
can
see
that
the
Scots
heritage
of
the
northeast
is
still
very
strong,
and
pupils
from
in
and
around
Keith
are
always
winners
at
burns,
festivals
and
alike.
C
C
Him
is
Henderson
from
Erick
for
recording
the
oral
traditions
of
Scotland's
travelling
folk
like
Belle
and
Sheila,
and
the
songs
of
the
Scots
language
and
I
think
we
should
congratulate
Edinburgh
University
for
supporting
the
compilation
of
all
that
he
recorded
and
and
for
the
work
that
they
continued
to
do
in
Scottish
studies.
I
was
also
fascinated
by
his
distinguished
service.
During
the
Second
World
War.
D
You
presiding
officer
I
am
pleased
to
have
the
opportunity
to
contribute
to
join
mcoppins
members
business
debate
this
evening
and
congratulate
her
on
bringing
it
to
the
chamber.
As
we've
already
heard,
the
11th
of
November
2019
will
mark
the
centenary
of
the
birth
of
dr.
Hamish
Henderson
during
his
life.
It's
acknowledged
that
he
is
a
scholar,
a
poet,
a
songwriter,
a
catalyst
of
Scotland's
folk
revival
born
in
Blair,
Gary
and
Perisher.
Hamish
was,
despite
what
may
think
of
him
later
in
his
life,
had
a
very
esteemed
military
career.
D
He
was
always
a
compassionate
man
as
a
youngster.
Henderson
won
a
scholarship
we've
heard
at
daleks
college,
but
unfortunately,
his
mother
died,
but
that
didn't
stop
him
from
progressing
and
ensuring
that
he
did
get
the
opportunity
to
go
to
download'
College
in
Cambridge
and
during
his
time
at
Cambridge.
He
had
many
visits
to
Germany
in
the
early
1930s
and
he
began
running
messages
and
money
back
and
forward
because
he
was
not
at
all
and
mired
by
the
Nazi
Germany
and
he
supported
individuals
and
smuggled
Jews
out
of
Germany.
D
During
that
time
and
throughout
his
life,
he
was
seen
as
a
man
who
had
a
strong
emphasis
on
peace.
However,
as
he
matured
and
further
saw
that
the
accessibility
of
peace
was
not
what
was
happening
in
that
time
in
Europe
and
he
immersed
himself
in
the
war
effort,
Hamish
was
a
first-class
individual
and
initially
he
joined
the
British
Army
Pioneer
Corps.
As
a
sergeant
before
he
gained
the
Queen's
Commission
of
an
intelligence
Corps.
D
He
became
an
effective
officer
due
to
his
command
of
six
European
languages
and
acquired
an
in-depth
knowledge
of
culture
in
Germany,
and
not
long
after
that.
He
took
up
his
time
in
the
Africa
during
the
war
and
is
during
that
time.
The
image
his
biographer
Timothy
need
suggested
that
an
in-depth
knowledge
of
the
history
of
st.
Andrew's
cross
mean
deeds
have
been
responsible
for
the
famous
Saltire
in
the
sky,
created
by
the
searchlights,
which
signaled
divisions
attack
at
El
Alamein.
D
Whilst
in
North
Africa,
he
began
to
look
at
the
epic
poem
and
started
to
express
the
ordinary
soldiers.
This
was
reflected
in
the
most
accomplished
poetry
that
he
had
the
elegies
of
the
dead
in
Selenia.
That
itself
showed
that
the
war
and
the
deep
humane
opportunities
and
the
waste
of
young
men
he
put
into
that,
and
that
gave
him
the
opportunity
of
expressing
that
and
he
throughout
his
life
saw
the
opportunities
that
were
there
and
his
poems
and
his
work
enhanced
that
and
human,
many
accolades
for
his
poetry
and
many
prizes.
D
Although
Hamish
Henderson
is
often
accused
of
being
communists,
he
never
actually
joined
the
Communist
Party.
He
was
far
too
much
of
an
internationalist
to
fall
into
any
of
those
party
lines
and
indeed
when
he
did
return
to
Italy
after
the
war,
he
was
eventually
told
to
leave
the
country
because
of
his
views
and
opinions,
and
he
wishes
still
remembered
there
with
gratefulness
as
a
military
and
culture
liberator
of
of
that
day,
and
he
mish
Henderson
club
in
room
is
still
there
today
for
folk.
D
So
in
conclusion,
deputy
presiding
officer,
it
is
only
right
and
proper
that
someone
who
made
such
a
contribution
is
recognized
for
that
contribution,
wherever
it
is
in
his
military
career
in
his
songwriting
in
his
poetry
or
anything
that
he
did
to
evolve.
Culture
in
Scotland
him
ashes
legacy
is
the
the
talent
and
the
contribution
to
the
Scottish.
Society
cannot
be
underestimated
and,
as
I
say,
it's
only
right
and
proper
that
we
have
this
opportunity
this
evening
to
recognize
that
talent
and
to
recognize
his
contribution
to
Scottish
society.
Thank
you.
E
E
He
says
well,
actually,
I've
got
two
objectives
and
then
I
want
a
cultural
revival
in
Scotland
and
I
think
culturally,
but
already
becoming
independent,
and
it's
only
natural
that
we
eventually
become
politically
independent.
So
I
said
what
are
your
two
objectives?
What
would
you
like
to
happen
in
an
independent
Scotland?
There's
not
happening
today
and
he
said
well.
The
first
thing
is
I
want
to
abolish
the
Sunday
post
and
the
people's
frame.
E
So,
and
let
me
say,
I'm
quoting
him
in
case
anybody.
The
editors
are
listening
to
this.
They
said.
Well,
why
do
you
want
to
abolish
the
sunday
post
and
the
people's
friend?
And
he
said
because
the
killya
mentality
that
they
promote
in
Scotland
is
not
my
kind
of
Scotland
and
it's
not
the
kind
of
Courtland
a
society
I
want
to
live
in
or
have
our
children
grow
up
and
so
I
was
totally
convinced,
told
Jim
Sellars.
E
We
watch
it
right
into
the
manifesto
for
the
SAO,
be
the
abolition
of
the
Sunday
Post
and
the
people's
friend.
So
I
then
said
Hamish.
What
is
your
second
objective
and
he
said
to
get
read
of
Glasgow,
Celtic
and
Glasgow
Rangers,
and
that
no
way
was
an
even
more
serious
point
because
finally,
was
an
asain
Sammy
joking
about
getting
rid
of
Celtic
and
Rangers.
What
he
wanted
to
do
was
read
Scotland
of
the
sectarianism
which,
particularly
at
that
time,
was
far
far
too
prevalent
still
too
prevalent
today,
but
he
did
don't
believe
in
st.
arianism.
E
He
took
people
as
they
where
he
didn't
judge
individuals
the,
unless
of
course
there
were
people
who
did
things
and
believed
in
things
that
he
thought
was
alien
to
the
culture
of
Scotland
and
always
remember
before
joining
the
SLP
I
was
very
friendly
with
the
late
Norman
and
Janey
buckin,
both
of
whom,
in
their
own
ways,
had
also
made
a
tremendous
contribution
to
the
revival
of
folk
music
and
to
the
culture,
particularly
in
the
northeast
of
Scotland,
but
not
exclusively
the
northeast
of
Scotland.
And
of
course
he
Miche
given
his
background.
E
E
When
the
history
of
the
20th
century
Scotland
comes
to
be
written
in
terms
of
cultural
Scotland,
there
will
probably
be
two
giants
and
that's
Hugh
MacDiarmid
and
Hamish
Henderson
and
of
course
they
themselves
had
quite
a
sometimes
difficult
relationship,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
had
the
highest
respect.
I
think
a
love
for
each
other,
so
I
think
he
me.
E
Shane
Dawson
deserves
to
be
celebrated,
not
just
in
this
debate,
not
just
in
the
event
is
taking
place
after
this
I
think
Hamish
Henderson
is
a
giant
of
Scotland,
but
he's
also
an
international
giant
as
well.
He
fought
against
fascism,
he
fought
for
the
underdog
anyone
else
who
has
background
and
has
about
bringing
the
the
strength
of
his
personality
in
the
kind
of
early
life
he
had,
which
is
one
of
the
most
difficult,
challenging
early
lives.
F
Thank
you
very
much.
Participating
officers
can
also
tank
join
McHale
pain
for
securing
that's
to
be
tonight.
It's
difficult,
obviously,
to
follow
personal
reminiscence
of
a
I
like
new,
but
I'll
put
my
points
on
it
to
be
only
on
the
record.
I
think
it's
important
that
Scotland's
Parliament
remembers
that
a
leading
figure
and
twitten,
essentially
Scottish
life
and
the
law
here.
Mr.
Anderson
was
in
West
laws
of
Isis
that,
but
at
the
opening
of
the
Scottish
Parliament
it
was
reportedly
deleted
to
that.
As
Flint.
F
It
was
very
much
on
his
mind
when
he
fainted
him
the
Edinburgh
people's
Festival.
His
poems
and
songs
tackled
the
political
issues
of
the
time,
many
of
which
still
affect
us
today,
including
opposed
in
a
clear
way
I'm
supporting
the
campaign
for
nuclear
disarmament
and
campaigning
on
issues
of
land
ownership
and
I
access,
and
he
was
also
a
committed
anti-apartheid
campaigner,
a
committed
socialist,
an
internationalist.
F
They
caused
destroy
his
life,
including
the
clades
leadership
workers
and
the
Mainers,
and
a
letter
to
the
Tribune
newspaper.
He
warned
and
if
I
may
quote,
that
socialism
will
not
be
fashioned
in
the
vacuum,
it
will
be
fashioned
by
the
painful
and
difficult
struggles
of
definite
communities
and
definite
places.
It
will
be
achieved
on
farnum's
and
in
workshops,
in
mains
and
in
shipyards,
and
not
only
by
courtesy
of
an
act
of
parliament
and,
of
course,
also
as
noted
and
during
motion.
F
Interestingly
and
I
understand
to
his
surprise,
he
was
offered
a
no
being
and
Anthony's
by
might
get
that
just
government
somewhat
less
surprising,
as
he
rejected
that
order.
It
continues
to
be
honored
in
a
far
greater
way.
Today,
his
contributions
to
Scotland's
culture,
traditional
politics,
continue
to
profoundly
influence
our
country
and,
as
Cathy
PT
said
and
Nesta
chamber
in
2002
Hamish
was
an
authentic
voice
of
Scotland.
F
G
G
I
wasn't
lucky
enough
to
meetin,
but
my
adult
to
adulthood
was
filled
with
my
love
for
music
and
while
and
the
songs
I'm
very
pleased
that
down
the
years,
my
friends,
the
folk
scene
and
his
TMS
II
made
me
aware
of
Hamish
the
man
and
his
incredible
contribution
to
the
social
history
of
our
country,
culture
and
politics,
I'm,
so
well.
Details
by
my
colleagues
in
the
chamber
this
evening,
Hamish's
emfluence
in
Scotland,
is
palpable
in
so
many
walks
of
life.
G
In
demonstration
with
me,
I
have
a
recent
publication
from
July
this
year
from
the
all
under
one
banner,
Mountaineer
called
songs
for
independence,
can
I
see
the
only
Hamish
and
Robbie
buns
get
two
songs
in
it.
It
features
a
John,
McLean
March
and
a
song
which
I
would
like
to
talk
about
because
there's
great
influence
on
me.
Freedom
come
all
ye,
whether
it
was
being
sung
so
poignantly
and
beautifully
by
per
mezzo
Matsuhisa
at
the
Commonwealth
Games
or
in
a
communal
singing
at
a
full
face
of
all
or
a
date.
G
I
see
an
impromptu
sing
song
in
Queensbury
house
in
here,
and
it's
one
as
personally
touched
me
and
I'll
seek
to
explain
why.
A
few
years
ago
my
son
asked
me
what
I
wanted
to
do
for
Mother's,
Day
and
I
asked
that
he
come
with
me
to
gather
and
protest.
Its
Eitan
cabel
dentention
Center
Sun
seed
of
expectant
floors
are
chocolate,
but
it
came
with
me
and
can
I
see
the
EM.
We
joined
the
peace
and
justice
movement
and
others
gathered
to
show
solidarity
for
those
detained
on
Scottish
soil
over
the
years.
G
It's
not
too
presumptuous
to
see
I
believe
not
in
Hamish
Anderson's
name
at
these
gatherings
down
the
years.
We
always
think
freedom
Kamui,
it's
no,
my
son's,
no
music,
glad
you
and
it
was
part
of
his
repertoire
and
because
he
was
so
moved
by
hitting
it
in
that
location
on
that
day
and
never
more
have
those
lyrics
been
more
powerful
than
I
would
say
to
that
blade
in
school
and
there's
been
even
if
a
sort
of
protest,
it's
a
song
of
solidarity
and
humanity,
but
most
of
all,
it
gives
me
hope.
G
H
Thank
you
very
much.
Indeed,
presiding
officers
can
I
commence
by
congratulating
John
and
bringing
this
motion
here.
It's
to
mark
the
centenary
of
the
birth
of
him
is
Sharon
Henderson
and
that's
most
certainly
worthy
of
recognition
and
I
might
throughout
just
mentioned
some
of
the
four
people
listening
and
maybe
aren't
cited
in
the
motion.
Some
of
the
the
text
of
the
motion
and
who
it
considers
was
one
of
the
most
brilliant
Scots
of
his
age.
H
H
I
think
a
the
fact
that
something
needed
arrived
suggests
that
there
was
something
about
a
drift
I
think
it's
perhaps
the
motorcycle
that
Scots
have
am
the
tough
traditions,
perhaps
unworthy
mentions
be
made
of
both
of
our
words.
I
think
the
oral
tradition
is
very,
very
important,
certainly
as
for
girls
and
in
the
end,
I
think
that
revival
wars
and
remains
connected
with
the
growing
confidence
we
have
as
a
nation.
H
Of
course,
the
travellers
and
I
think
the
connection
with
the
travellers
and
and
I
spoke
in
the
previous
debate,
and
indeed
mention
travelers
and
and
the
the
very
good
work
that
the
Scottish
Government's
done
in
relation
to
that
and
important
because
of
the
relationship
being
both
up
there
and
that's
the
credit
of
Ministers
him
sure
clearly
clearly
and
as
someone
who
works
with
the
traveler
community,
I
know
that
people
within
that
community
are
understandably
like
trust
him.
Hamish.
H
Hampton
could
make
a
very
excellent
film,
never
mind
the
documentary
and,
and
it
s
about
his
bearing
he's
bearing
it
was
not
in
any
way
threatening.
He
was
a
warm
person,
and
people
have
talked
about
his
distinguished
service
and
the
surrender,
and
that
was
not
about
humiliation,
which
I
saw
that
I
was
about
the
warmth
and
an
engagement
to
that
a
human
level,
never
I'm,
not
who
would
be
considered.
H
These
are
great
organizations
and
I
think,
and
they
epitomize
the
the
outlook
and
his
sense
of
community
and
people
have
already
mentioned
the
field
recordings
and
I
think
that's
average
source
and
a
heritage
and
I've
mentioned
about
the
travelers
I.
Think
that
can't
be
underestimated
and
the
the
the
the
the
the
engagement
there
is
very,
very
positive
and
indeed
lasting,
with
the
names
beyond
Stuart
and
Jeannie
Roberts
and
obviously
him.
The
motion
tous,
want
to
see
it.
Considers
the
Hamish
look
many
beloved
folk
songs,
including
freedom
Kamal.
H
You
I
have
to
tell
you
that
it's
song
of
the
Scottish
Green
Party
confidence
and
song
hesitatingly
by
me,
not
because
I
don't
like
it,
because
it
is
very
broad
Scots,
where
Ireland
that
and
and
of
course,
a
huge
touches
in
that
with
John
McLean
mark
with
his
reference
to
the
different
communities
of
Gotland,
including
big
healing,
Jupiter's
and
I'm,
certainly
that
so
I
I,
like
the
tonight.
It
Nunes
version
I
like
dick
Calkins
the
ocean
about
our
big
fan
of
that
gokhan.
H
Who
of
course
a
also
performs
the
51st
Highlanders,
feel
well
to
Sicily
and
a
patron
and
had
a
call
from
the
documentary
Hamish
diddling
along
to
that
when
he
was
explaining
the
basis
to
it
so
he'll
be
fondly
remembered
me:
I
love.
It
is
humanity,
elf
that
he
had
regard
for
his
homeland
and
that
he
wanted
to
make
things
better
and
others
have
alluded
to
last.
So
whether
it
was
a
partaker,
nuclear's
and
I.
Imagine
he'd
be
with
clear
Adamson,
like
Dan
Gable
and
for
tasting
there
as
many
as
done
I'm.
H
Imagine
he
would
be
repulsed
by
the
rape
clause.
The
siege
of
Gaza
things
like
that
talks,
the
the
motion
talks
about
to
mean
eviscerate
a
talents
and
I
think
we
don't
appreciate
people.
We
don't
appreciate
people
in
the
time
there
may
be
a
Fisher
come
retrospectively.
I
mentioned
that
gawk
and
another
person
like
that
is,
will
eat
and
iain
Stuart,
who
I
think
wasn't
well
known
at
his
own.
So
the
contribution
that
meaty
to
Scottish
culture
was
a
main
so
mostly
only
world
for
me
at
Hamish.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
They
officer
I'm
very
grateful
to
Joe
McAlpine
for
bringing
forward
this
motion
and
securing
the
debate
today
and
for
her
wonderful
tribute.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
various
contributors
for
their
contributions,
Maureen.
What
spoke
of
her
personal
meeting
and
reflection
I
like
Neal
in
another
personal
and
entertaining
contributions,
celebrated
Hamish
fences
internationalism
and
preached
him
as
a
hero
of
Scotland.
It's
important.
This
Parliament
remembers
doctor
Hamish
Henderson
one
of
the
most
influential
Scots
of
the
past
century
and
recognises
his
significant
achievements
that
have
influenced
and
shaped
Scotland
and
beyond.
I
This
is
the
first
time
that
Hamish
Henderson
has
been
the
focus
of
debates
in
this
Parliament
and
we
recorded
our
appreciation
of
his
lifetime
devotion
to
international
solidarity,
peace
and
socialism
and
his
many
contributions
to
Scottish
culture
and
politics.
Shortly
after
his
death
and
March
2002
back
in
2011,
we
debated
the
60th
anniversary
of
the
Edinburgh
people's
Festival
Cayley,
set
up
by
Hamish
and
it's
legacy.
Hamish
Henderson
has
also
an
enduring
legacy
with
the
Parliament.
I
He
played
a
key
role
in
helping
us
to
attain
it
and
in
reviving
the
confidence
of
Scotland,
but
he's
also
played
a
key
role.
Both
in
spirit
and
and
also
indeed
in
stone,
I'm
sure
that
many
of
you
have
reflected
on
his
words
in
his
powerful
song:
freedom,
freedom,
camo,
you
as
you've,
walked
past
the
Canongate
wall
of
the
parliament,
and
they
are
still
so
relevant
today.
Those
words
as
clear
adamson
sets
out
so
poignant.
I
Lee
I
learned
the
words
of
employee
as
a
teenager
when
I
lived
in
Glasgow
in
Peel
Street,
but
I
never
met
huge
Henderson
or
indeed
the
backings
I
wish
I
had,
and
it
is
appropriate
that
we
remember
and
celebrate
Hamish
Henderson
on
the
centenary
of
his
birth
centenary,
ZAR
important
times
for
us
to
consider
and
reflect
on
people
and
events
that
have
had
a
profound
impact
on
shaping
our
lives,
our
history
and
our
country,
and
to
consider
the
legacy.
There
are
a
number
of
events
arranged
around
Hamish
Henderson's
centenary,
including
another
parliamentary
event.
I
This
evening
and
I
believe
that
they
will
help
to
raise
the
profile
of
this
exceptional
man.
Hamish
henderson
changed
Scotland
forever
in
the
way
we
think
of
ourselves,
our
culture
and
our
nation.
He
made
an
impact
in
every
avenue
where
he
turned
his
attention
to
and
his
polymath
career,
where
there's
a
folklorist
and
the
foot
revival
right:
revivalist,
a
poet,
a
songwriter
political
activist,
translator
and
public
intellectual.
He
was
a
visionary,
a
revivalist,
a
political
activist
and
a
folk
hero
Alexandre.
I
She
reflected
importantly
on
his
experience
of
the
war
and
that
how
that
influenced
his
work,
central
to
his
life
and
legacy
was
the
school
Scottish
studies
than
the
University
of
Edinburgh.
We
taught
from
1951
until
his
retirement
in
1987
and
I
want
to
quote
the
words
of
one
of
his
colleagues,
Callum
MacLean
brother
of
the
poets
or
Lee
MacLean,
which
tell
us
much
about
the
importance
of
the
oral
tradition,
the
songs,
the
stories
and
traditional
tales
in
Scots
and
garlic
that
Hamish
and
his
colleagues
were
collecting
I
caught.
I
As
John
Finnie
said,
he
always
said
that
the
biggest
achievement
in
his
life
was
discovering
Jeanne
Robertson,
one
of
the
most
acclaimed
folk
singers
in
the
world,
and
he
was
able
to
give
these
tradition
bears
a
voice.
He
was
able
to
give
their
community
and
others
recognition
and
to
be
accepted
by
society.
F
Ileane
Smith
I
thank
the
cabinet
safety
of
taking
an
intervention.
It
was
actually
slightly
a
mess
of
me
and
my
own
speech,
not
to
mention
the
fact
that
the
president
officer
was
the
first
to
open
debates,
be
kidding,
Cathy,
PCs
debate
and
she
she
made
a
call
that
she
did
actually
mention
that
we
shouldn't
forget
this.
Possession
of
a
gypsy
traveling
community
saw
immediately
intervene
to
put
that
when
the
dear
kid
to
cabinet
sake.
I
D
I
Route
and
I
thank
her
for
reflecting
our
own
presenting
officers,
contribution
and
and
love
of
Hamish
Henderson
and
her
experience
as
well
and-
and
that
was
a
point-
I
was
coming
to
the
lane.
Swiss
I
think
reflected
on
that
really
important
part
of
Hamish
Henson's
work
and
also
on
his
politics
because,
as
she
said,
they
Hamish's
collection,
collecting
work
and
not
only
ensured
that
all
this
traditional
law
would
be
safeguarded
for
future
generations
in
the
school's
archives.
But
it
would
be
brought
to
a
much
wider
audience.
I
He
was
considered
to
be
the
father
of
the
folk
song
revival
and
he
did
so
much
to
ensure
that
the
carrying
stream
of
tradition
continues
so
I'm
grateful
for
all
the
work
that
here-ish
Henderson
undertook.
He
contributed
significantly
to
the
truly
vibrant
folk
culture,
especially
around
music
and
song,
that
we
now
have
today.
Traditional
musicians
and
singers
play
an
important
part
in
our
music
scene.
We
have
figures
that
are
nationally
and
internationally
known
and
renowned
and
we're
able
to
provide
first-class
training
for
them
at
the
Royal
Conservatory
Scotland.
I
Its
traditional
music
course
is
the
UK,
only
Bachelor
of
Music
degree
dedicated
to
traditional
and
folk
music,
a
course
which
I
encouraged
the
funding
Council
to
support
when
I
was
when
it
was
established.
When
I
was
education.
Secretary
professor
Margaret
Bennett,
one
of
the
lecturers
was
a
contemporary
of
Hamish
Hamish
thought
that
she
I
quote,
embodies
the
spirit
of
Scotland
and
I
agree
in
Glasgow.
Celtic
connections
is
the
largest
Winter
Festival
in
the
world.
I
Uk's
premier
celebration
of
Celtic
music
has
now
run
for
26
years,
and
it
plays
an
important
role
in
promoting
our
traditional
and
contemporary
culture.
It
helps
to
promote
artistic
links
and
cultural
exchanges
across
countries
and
to
share
our
traditions,
an
important
aspect
of
the
people's
festival,
Kayle
that
Hamish
it
was
involved
in
and
we
were
able
to
support
her
historic
languages
that
were
so
central
to
the
Lord.
That
Camus
was
collecting.
We
recognized
that
the
Scots
language
is
an
integral
part
of
Scotland's
heritage,
our
national
identity
and
our
current
cultural
life.
I
We
support
the
Scottish
language
dictionaries,
which
for
many
years
were
housed
in
the
school
Scottish
studies
in
George
Square
and
we're
also
encouraging
Scots
writers
and
publishers.
Hamish
Henderson
recognized
that
our
culture
was
always
evolving
and
changing,
and
it's
important
that
it
is
available
and
easily
accessible
for
our
current
and
also
our
future
generations
to
enjoy
the
school
of
Scottish
Studies
continues
to
play
an
important
role
in
this
regard.
I
He
wish
Henderson's
devotion
to
Scotland,
and
especially
to
its
traditional
cultures,
has
left
a
remarkable
legacy
for
us
today
and
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
recognize
to
value
as
contribution,
but
probably
more
importantly,
to
ensure
that
we
value
protect
to
nurture
our
culture,
the
spirit,
the
values
of
what
he
communicated
in.
There
was
very,
very
precious
words.
I
