How the Scottish Parliament has changed the nation's identity
I AM still very surprised by what the now 20-year-old parliament in Edinburgh has done for Scotland. For me it has changed the whole political setting in the UK and Scotland. The Scottish identity, Scotland’s standing in Europe and the world, has been recognised globally as a very different parliament in a very British environment. The Scottish Parliament has even changed my personal life and it is still an ongoing process. I was there when Scotland voted for the Parliament, I was there when it was established. I interviewed Donald Dewar about it for German radio, and over many years I followed events and discussions in the Parliament.
