FRIENDS, comrades and activists across Scotland are mourning Rab Paterson, and celebrating his life and his lasting political achievements.

Rab combined a career in education, including being headteacher of Rosewell and Hopefield Primaries, with a long and unique contribution to the politics of peace, socialism and national liberation.

Rab said he was already politically motivated when in Primary 7, probably due to the influence of his grandmother who he claimed had a red flag stored under her bed for the revolution that never happened in Britain.
