Scotch on the Rocks: The TV drama locked away for 50 years

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-66889553

It sounds like the most dramatic news story imaginable.

"The battle for Scottish independence has taken a violent turn after paramilitary "soldiers" of the Scottish Liberation Army (SLA) took over the town of Fort William.

Troops from English regiments of the British army are massing north of Glasgow to turn back an expected assault on the nation's largest city.

The prime minister is meeting his cabinet in London.

And the leadership of the SNP, the party which recently narrowly missed out on winning a majority in the Westminster parliament, has yet to condemn the actions in the Highlands."

I recall seeing this and reading the book at the time. Didn't know it was written by Hurd though.

My memory of it is pretty poor now, but I recall there being a crucial turning point in the plot which I considered to be wholly unlikely.

If it happened at least the SNP would have a mobile command and control centre
