FORMER First Minister Alex Salmond will speak at The Fraser Centre in Tranent on Thursday (September 29) at 7.30pm to launch the Wee ALBA Book.

The ALBA Party leader was set to speak at the event on Saturday but it was postponed due to the Queen’s funeral on Monday.

The rescheduled event will see Mr Salmond and East Lothian MP Kenny MacAskill speak about Scottish independence.

Both speakers will later invite audience members to ask questions.
