Alex Salmond, the former first minister of Scotland, passed away at 69 after delivering a speech in North Macedonia, as confirmed by Scotland's Labour Party leader.
Anas Sarwar noted that Salmond was a central figure in Scottish politics for over three decades, highlighting his profound impact on the Scottish political landscape.
Salmond led the Scottish National Party from a fringe group to a major force, achieving an overall majority in the Scottish Parliament in 2011.
Despite his efforts during the 2014 independence referendum, where he campaigned for Scotland's independence, he resigned after the public opted to remain part of the UK.
