Who was Douglas Henderson?

Douglas Henderson was a Scottish politician. He served as a Member of Parliament for the Scottish National Party, representing the East Aberdeenshire constituency from February 1974 to March 1979, and held virtually every national office in the SNP, short of party leader. His political style has been described as "no-nonsense" and "very blunt and forthright". He is also known for his forceful public speaking, which SNP leader Alex Salmond has described as "messianic".
