		Donald Dewar, the Scottish First Minister, who has died aged 63, was one of the unlikeliest of Scottish heroes.

		Dewar earned himself the label of "father of the nation" in some papers but it never took hold, not least because he was embarrassed by it.

	"Values of liberty, responsibility and fairness" - Gordon Brown pays tribute to Donald Dewar
		Donald Dewar was a complex, private man, who, perhaps to his surprise, had become an inspiration to thousands of us - his friends, his staff, his colleagues and his constituents.
		Donald was a graduate in law, and a lawyer who never wavered from his core belief in the importance of civil, political and religious liberties as fundamental to the foundation of our society.
		Donald Dewar would have been the first to point to the influence on his thinking of ideas that came alive in the Scottish enlightenment - what he called a light held to the intellectual life of Europe - a light, he argued, important to making Britain the society it is, and can become.

	Donald Dewar
		Donald Dewar was under no illusion on that score and was impatient to move things on.
		Donald Campbell Dewar was born in August 1937 as portents of war reverberated around the globe and he was sent at the age of two and a half to a small boarding school in Perthshire which was run by friends of his parents.
		Grossart and Dewar's careers crossed throughout their lives but when they met at official dinners it was always a relief to find themselves seated together, when they could ignore banking and politics and talk about books and painting and history.

	Donald Dewar: A true Scottish patriot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		People who knew Donald far better than I have already pointed out that he would have regarded the "Father of The Nation" description with some disdain and perhaps a wry observation that a nation with 1000 years or so of continuous history is unlikely to have such recent parentage.
		For Donald Dewar was an exceptionally well-read man and his interests extended well beyond what passes these days for political theory into a deep appreciation and understanding of Scottish history and culture.
		However, without question, Donald was a Scottish patriot and I think it was this desire to do the right thing by Scotland which persuaded him to embrace the joint campaign with the SNP in the referendum of August 1997.

		DONALD DEWAR: I don't think, understandably, you haven't been at our conference today and indeed all weekend and you didn't see the rapturous reception for Tony Blair, the spontaneous standing ovation for Gordon Brown, who's dealing specifically with prudent financial control and building sustainable growth so that we can progress in the future.
		DEWAR: John, can I just say to you, and it may come as you know - it may sound a surprising thing to say, but we are taking a candidate's selection today very much more seriously in terms of the equipment of the candidates to do the job than we've ever done in the past.

	Stop testing our tolerance, Donald Sunday Herald, The - Find Articles
		Donald Dewar is very fortunate that his chief of staff's departure will be little more than a footnote in Scottish political history.
		It is undoubtedly a bad blow to lose such a senior figure so soon into the administration, but we should bear in mind that few people outside of the Scottish parliament had heard of Rafferty before he was sacked and even fewer will remember him in years to come.
		Dewar is in serious danger of being seen as the Frank Spencer of Scottish politics, stumbling from one accident to another with a look of incredulity on his face like the hapless character in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.
