Murphy lauds Scottish patriotism
A strong sense of Scottishness should not make people anti-British, Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy said.
He embraced the resurgence in national pride over the last 20 years - but in an address at Stirling University said that Scottishness does not belong to one political party.
On the week of the 10th anniversary of devolution, Mr Murphy said patriotism and the Saltire belong to all Scots.
