	George Reid (Scottish politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Newlands Reid PC MSP (born 4 June 1939) is the Presiding Officer (Speaker) of the Scottish Parliament.
		George Reid was born in 1939 at Tullibody, near Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, and educated at Dollar Academy, Clackmannanshire, and the University of St Andrews, Fife, Scotland, where he was awarded a first-class Master's degree in History in 1962.
		After several years away from Scottish politics, he heralded his comeback in 1994 by delivering an academic-style lecture at the SNP conference, drawing on his knowledge of continental European politics to argue a case for why a party like the SNP could be expected to prosper if a Scottish Parliament was established.
