Bruce Watson (politician)
Mearns Bruce Watson (April 3, 1910 – May 16, 1988) was a Scottish organic chemist and Scottish National Party politician. He was the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) from 1945 to 1947.
Watson was born in Rubislaw, Aberdeen, the son of Mearns Watson snr, a fruit salesman. He studied chemistry at the University of Aberdeen, and later taught there as an assistant lecturer in chemistry, and then as professor of organic chemistry.〔Peter Lynch, ''SNP: the history of the Scottish National Party'', p.4〕 In 1945, the SNP Chairman Douglas Young resigned after the party banned members from also holding membership of British political parties. Watson held that attempting to win self-government through British parties was a waste of time,〔Jim Lynch, ''Strategies for Self-government'' ISBN 0-7486-6113-1〕 and took up the vacant party chairmanship without facing a challenge.〔
In 1946, Watson chaired a large conference in Perth which demanded self-government for Scotland.〔"(Scottish National Party Demands Self Government )", ''St. Petersburg Times'', 29 May 1946〕 In 1947, he stood down from the Chairmanship of the SNP in order that he could be succeeded by Robert McIntyre, a former Member of Parliament and the best-known figure in the party.〔
Based in Aberdeen, Watson remained active in the SNP into the 1960s.〔Jim Lynch, "(Correction )", ''Scots Independent'', 9 November 2001〕
