Willie McRae (18 May 1923 – 7 April 1985) was a Scottish lawyer, orator, naval officer, politician and anti-nuclear campaigner. In the Second World War he served in the British Army and then the Royal Indian Navy. He supported the Indian independence movement and for much of his life was active in the Scottish National Party (SNP).
McRae died when his car crashed in a remote part of the Scottish Highlands. He was found shot in the head with a revolver. The official verdict was suicide.[1]
