Steps are bring taken to recognise Scotland’s first mixed race MP, West Lothian politician Peter McLagan.
The MP for Linlithgow and East Falkirk, Martyn Day, has joined forces with local historian, David Main, to recognise one of his predecessors.
Mr McLagan was the MP for Linlithgowshire between 1865 and 1893 and, as Scotland’s first mixed-race MP, withstood negative campaigning to become Parliament’s longest serving Scottish Member until his resignation.
