James Halliday

James Halliday

James Halliday was the leader of the Scottish National Party from 1956 (following on from Robert McIntyre) until 1960 (being replaced by Arthur Donaldson).

Halliday was elected leader of the SNP when McIntyre decided to step down as he felt there was some opposition to him remaining leader amongst the party ranks. Halliday seemed the natural replacement as he had been the only other SNP candidate at the general election in 1955 besides McIntyre.

Halliday led the SNP for four years but felt he had to resign due to the pressures of working life.

He remained active in the SNP and latterly worked on the Scots Independent newspaper.
