EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the historic Hamilton By-Election of 1967. The by-election was held on November 2nd following the resignation of former Labour MP, Tom Fraser, who took up a prestigious position as head of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board. Hamilton had long been considered a safe seat for Labour, consistently securing over two-thirds of the vote in every general election from 1945 to 1966. However, this particular election witnessed an unexpected turn of events with a surprise victory for Scottish National Party (SNP) candidate Winnie Ewing. This triumph marked the beginning of continuous SNP representation in the House of Commons ever since. In this remarkable snapshot captured on Sunday, October 8th, we see fervent supporters of the SNP proudly displaying their allegiance. From left to right stand Sheila Ferguson, Myra Thornton, Julie Hutchison and Sylvia McGrady – passionate women who played an integral role in shaping Scottish politics during that era. The image not only provides insight into political campaigns and activism but also offers glimpses into fashion trends and clothing styles prevalent during the swinging sixties. It serves as a powerful reminder that behind every significant political moment lies a diverse tapestry woven by individuals united under shared ideals. This stunning photograph is part of Daily Record's collection and showcases Scotland's rich political history while honoring those who fought tirelessly for change.
