Ronnie Fraser

Thomas Ronald Leslie Fraser (3 February 1929 – 4 March 2010) was a Scottish writer, broadcaster and Liberal Party politician.

[1] In 1960, Fraser was appointed editor of Farming News, where he worked for ten years, before it merged with The Scottish Farmer.

[5] In 1950, while still studying at university, he stood as the Scottish Liberal Party candidate in the 1950 United Kingdom general election for Glasgow Govan.

Subsequent electoral registration practices changed to include people coming of age during the life of the register.

The greatest coup of the Covenant Association was the removal of the Stone of Destiny from Westminster Abbey by four of their members (Ian Hamilton, Kay Matheson, Gavin Vernon and Alan Stuart) over Christmas in 1950.

Fraser's parents house in Carlisle, where he was staying, was used as a base for some of those organising the transport of the stone across the border into Scotland.

[1] Once again, he stood as Liberal candidate at the 1955 General Election but this time at the more promising seat of West Aberdeenshire.
