Perthshire born actor, Alan Cumming, has become one of Hollywood’s most respected stars. He was part of the Yes, Yes campaign for a Scottish Parliament in 1997. At yesterday's launch he spoke of Scotland's spirit and creative energy, and the opportunities of becoming independent.
“Since devolution Scotland has blossomed not just as a cultural force on the world’s stage but in terms of the confidence and pride the Scottish people have come to enjoy. As I've traveled the world I have seen the change in the way that Scotland is perceived and the way it presents itself to the world. Independence can only add to our potential and release a new wave of creativity and ambition. The world is waiting for us and I know that we are ready.”
Alan is currently back in Scotland rehearsing for the lead roles in National Theatre of Scotand’s production of MacBeth. You can join him and support the Yes Declaration, by signing up here.
