St Andrews University Scottish Nationalist Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The St Andrews University Scottish Nationalist Association (StAUSNA), is the leading Scottish Nationalist society at St Andrews University. It is also known as SNPsoc.
As the name suggests, the society supports Scottish independence, and is closely aligned with the Scottish National Party, and the Federation of Student Nationalists.
Prominent nationalist politicians Alex Salmond MP and George Reid MSP are alumni of the University. Mr Salmond was made Honorary President of the society in March 2005.
