The family of Alex Salmond have paid tribute to a “formidable politician” who “dedicated his life to the cause he believed in – independence for Scotland”, in a statement released by The Alba Party.
“But to us, first and foremost, he was a devoted and loving husband, a fiercely loyal brother, a proud and thoughtful uncle and a faithful and trusted friend.” He launched his rival Scottish independence party, Alba, in 2021 after his relationship with his successor Nicola Sturgeon fractured. His final post on X, formerly Twitter, shortly before his death, ended “Scotland is a country not a county”.
