Lord Fraser

Lord Fraser of Carmyllie, a former Scottish Office minister and lord advocate, has become the latest high-profile Unionist to back Scottish independence. Writing in today's Scottish Sunday Times, he argues that Scotland would 'flourish' as an independent nation.

Lord Fraser was also chosen by the First Minister Jack McConnell in 2003 to chair the Holyrood Inquiry into the Scottish Parliament building project; perhaps that fiasco helped him on his political journey.
