Description
By ; Robbie Moffat (author/editor), Matthew McKenna (illustrator).
1993 Moffat & Co. landscape stapled paperback; very good condition, clean copy. This original 1993 edition is now long out of print. This is a thin paperback booklet with thicker card cover, it features the text of the draft constitution alongside simple line drawings by Matthew McKenna that illustrate its various articles.
The book presents an early draft constitution for Scotland originally produced by the Scottish Provisional Constituent Assembly. This draft was intended to propose a supreme law for Scotland, although it ultimately became a "historical footnote" rather than an active legal document.
The text edited by Moffat and McKenna preserves the work of early 20th Century Scottish "constitution-wranglers" who examined international models to draft a vision for a sovereign Scottish state.

The Author
Robbie Moffat, born and educated in Glasgow, started writing creatively at the age of seventeen. He became a novelist and poet. He travelled extensively, and visited more than eighty countries. In 1980 he settled in Newcastle and founded Palm Tree Books to publish poetry. From 1983 to 1986, he studied English at Newcastle University and wrote plays that he staged at the Gulbenkian Theatre. While studying, he founded the Newcastle Festival Fringe. On graduating, Robbie returned to being an author of novels, moved to Somerset and made the Swansea Festival Fringe into the second largest arts festival in Wales. He also developed a name for himself as a talented playwright. He received two Arts Council of Great Britain awards in commendation of his work. Returning to Scotland in 1989, he staged a number of new plays, wrote his longest poetry works, and continued to write novels. In 1994, he began writing full-length screenplays, and 1996 extended Palm Tree into a film production company. Since that time, he has had more than twenty of his screenplays made into feature films.
