November 8 in Scottish History

Today in 1866 Ramsay MacDonald, Britain's first Labour Prime Minister, died.

James Ramsay MacDonald (12 October 1866 – 9 November 1937) was a British politician and three times Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Originally a socialist, and from humble origins, he became the first Labour Prime Minister in 1924. His third period as Prime Minister was during the crisis of the Great Depression when he formed a "National Government" in coalition with the Conservatives and was expelled from the Labour Party.

He passed away while on holiday aboard the ocean liner Reina del Pacifico.
