- Charles Kennedy: A Good Man SpeakingE1
Charles Kennedy: A Good Man SpeakingA profile of Charles Kennedy and how his Highland upbringing influenced his life and politics. Charles was 23 when he stood for the Highland seat Ross, Cromarty and Skye. His victory began a 32-year career in politics. Charles rose through the political ranks of his party and he went on to lead the merged party, the Liberal Democrats. However through those years, Charles never forgot his Lochaber roots. From his stance on the 2003 Iraq War to the fight to save the Fort William Sleeper, he stood on principle. Ultimately his battle with alcoholism forced his resignation as leader but he never gave up on the party or his constituents. This is a story of addiction, but mainly of a humorous Highlander who had heart - Ionad Hiort - Oir an Dochais/St Kilda Centre - Edge of Hope
