“A memorial service will be held next month for SNP politician Winnie Ewing.
Known famously as Madame Ecosse, the 93-year-old former MP, MEP, and MSP died on Wednesday.
She became Scotland’s first SNP female parliamentarian after her shock victory at the Hamilton by-election in 1967.
A private funeral service will be held on Thursday but her family confirmed a public memorial service will take place at Inverness Cathedral on 15 July.”
