Scottish Green Party

The People Behind

The Party

The Scottish Greens were founded as a separate party in 1990, and Robin Harper was elected to the Scottish Parliament in 1999 as the UK's first Green Parliamentarian. In 2007 eight Green Councillors were elected for the first time in Glasgow and Edinburgh, and subsequently two independent Councillors on Aberdeenshire Council also joined the party. Robin and Patrick Harvie MSP currently play a crucial role in a finely balanced Holyrood, where Patrick also convenes the Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee.

The party's co-convenors are Patrick Harvie MSP and Eleanor Scott. Find out more about elected Greens and our current candidates below.

“Having covered environmental issues as a journalist for many years, I have become increasingly alarmed about the problem of climate change and its negative impacts, so I decided to join the Scottish Green Party as the party that I have seen taking this issue most seriously.”
