	Scottish National Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The merger was the brainchild of leading NPS figure John MacCormick who desired unity for the nationalist movement in Scotland, and upon learning of the Scottish Party's emergence moved to secure it.
		John MacCormick wanted a merger between the two parties and knew that it would only be through the support of devolution rather than independence that the Scottish Party would be persuaded to merge.
		John McCormick left the party in 1942, owing to his failure to change the party's policy from supporting all out independence to that of a modicum of Home Rule at that year's SNP conference in Glasgow.

	MacCormick v. Lord Advocate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lord Advocate (1953 SC 396) was a Scottish lawsuit in which John MacCormick (the rector of Glasgow University) and Ian Hamilton contested the right of Queen Elizabeth II to style herself "Elizabeth II" within Scotland.
		MacCormick and Hamilton lost their case: it was held that they had no title to sue the Crown, and also that the treaty had no provision concerning the numbering of monarchs — it was part of the royal prerogative.
		The outcome of this case became of great relevance in 1999, when the British parliament was proposing the creation of a Scottish parliament.

	Tribute
		Between 1929 and 1942 the national secretary was John MacCormick, who was the key figure of this period of the cause's development.
		John MacCormick, concluding that there had to be a consequent "parting of the ways", stood as a Liberal candidate while masterminding the breakaway Scottish Convention.
		While the looming, Media-fanned split was formally, averted by a truce — drafted, ironically perhaps, by John MacCormick’s son, Neil — it was Robert McIntyre who more than anyone else helped to smooth most of the ruffled feathers on both sides and brought the young turks gradually back into the philosophical fold.

	Chapter 10 - The 1942 Meeting
		John MacCormick, as Secretary realised that it would not be in the long-term interests of the Party to have members shut up in gaol and, more particularly, incur public disapprobation of being in conflict with the bulk of public opinion which supported the war against Hitler.
		MacCormick was always looking for consensus, and this drove him to seek to influence opinion in terms of endeavouring to unite political parties and opponents towards a common aim of Home Rule.
		MacCormick’s energy and organisational ability could now be devoted to the "Scottish Convention" and, later, he stood as a Liberal candidate for Inverness in 1945.

		MacCormick, around whom the Party had revolved, left the SNP, taking many supporters with him, and set up the Scottish Union, which later became the Scottish Convention and eventually, the Scottish Covenant Association.

		John MacDonald MacCormick was one of the chief founder members of the National Party of Scotland in 1928, and of its successor, the Scottish National Party in 1934.
		A shrewd and dedicated man, MacCormick was never able to bring the debate about Self Government to the point when some Parliamentary decision could be taken, and his tragically early death saw his organisation fairly quickly disintegrate, thus making obvious his own vital contribution.
		The Scots Independent has long carried the Scottish Saltire Flag at its masthead, and its use of the title "The Flag in the Wind" is a reminder of John MacCormick and has been approved by his family.
