Mary Fraser Dott

[2] In 1946, the SNP's revised policy document was developed and signed by leading party members at the Dott's house, and incorporated some of their ideas, taken from social credit and Georgism.

[4] During this time, she attended the 1948 Hague Congress on behalf of the party,[5] and she stood unsuccessfully in the 1947 Edinburgh East by-election, taking 1,682 votes.

[6] She was the only woman to stand in a British parliamentary election for the party until Winnie Ewing in 1967.

[7] Although Dott stood down as National Secretary in 1951,[4] she remained active in the party, opposing John MacCormick's Scottish Covenant Association split.

[9] In 1962, she gave a speech at Broxburn in support of William Wolfe, where she claimed that Scottish MPs were "afraid of being laughed at" due to their nationalities.
