Hamilton by-election, 1967
The Hamilton by-election, in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, in 1967 was a milestone in the politics of Scotland. Although Robert McIntyre of the Scottish National Party (SNP) had won and briefly held the Motherwell constituency in a by-election during the last months of World War II, in April-July 1945, it was Winnie Ewing 's victory in the Hamilton constituency which propelled the SNP, Scottish independence and devolution to the top of the agenda in Scotland.
